Hi,

Does anybody know if the service oil indicator light always comes on at 12500 mile intervals as my 2009 Kuga which has just clocked up 12500 miles today hasn't had this message appear. The car has been serviced every year at whatever mileage is on the clock probably about 5500 and then at 10000 miles but due to the low mileage that I cover it's taken since Oct 2009 to reach the magic 12500 miles. It's not a big issue but seeing all the comments about the service oil light coming on I find it a bit strange.  I assume there is nothing in the messages or alerts that has to be switched on?

Thanks

Hi Ray,
It will be 12500 miles since the last time it was reset  so if it was last done at 10k then the message should come back at 22,500 miles (rather than every 12500 miles)... mine comes on every 6 months Ouch shouldn't enjoy driving it so much Wink

Hi HugaKuga,

It may have been done at the 1st service which was done by a Ford dealer but that would have been at approx 5500 miles so the service oil indicator light wouldn't have been on, unless of course the dealer automatically reset it? I know it wasn't done when it was serviced by my mechanic in October last year when the mileage was about 10500 so if your reckoning is correct I may get the light on at about 18000 miles which will probably be when the service is next due anyway, we shall see.

Thanks
