Which Service Next?

Post by Denis O » Thu Apr 30, 2015 3:48 am

Below is the service history on my car from new. I'm trying to figure which service should be done next time, based on the fact that all the green lights won't be out, maybe 3 or 4 left, so it'll be done on the 2 year basis, for the 2nd time running.

1 year old  Oil Service at 11k
3 years old  Insp 1 at 27k
4 years old  Oil service & 3rd service extra items at 43k
6 years old  Insp 1 including air and fuel filter at 60k. I'd just bought the car so everything done.
8 years old  Oil service based on 2 year rule at 69k

I'm assuming that all services, apart from the last, were based on all lights going out.

When the last oil service was done there were 3 green lights showing. The lights were then reset to 5 greens. Over a year later, the mileage is 73k and it still has 5 green lights showing. On that basis, it will need servicing next March, again under the 2 years rule, with probably 4 green lights showing and maybe 76k miles on the clock.

So, which service will need to be done next March? I'm thinking Insp 1 and then 2 years after it'll be the extra's for every 3rd service.

The trials and tribulations for low yearly mileage eh.
