I did my first oil change yesterday and reset my periodic reminder per the stickied thread...

I am using the NAS10 schedule with is every 7500 miles or 6 months.

After resetting, the display shows 10,800 miles or 7 months to the next service...WTF???


Being curious, I also changed the schedule and it would display a normal looking peiod 5000, 3750. etc...then I went back to the NAS10 and it again showed 10800 or 7 months.

One thing I need to check is that the other schedules I tried were the same as those listed in the stickied thread


Am I missing something, or is something Fd' up?

 

Some follow up...

I went through the different schedules and compared them to the stickied thread..they are not the same

NAS11..instead of 3750/3..I get 7000/4
NAS20..instead of 5000/5...I get 5800/5
NAS21..instead of 3750/4...I get 3300/3

Other thoughts..I have an early build...October/November 06..maybe I have a really old version of software that was corrected

 

On my UK model we have services intervals of 12 months or 12000 miles but their is no setting for that on mine so in the end I just switched it off!!!

anybody know what GCI EU10 EU11 EU12 settings do?

I reset mine at 2000 miles when I changed the oil. It said next service 9500 miles or 6 months. I changed the oil at 5000 miles and it said 12500 miles or 6 months again. I pretty much have the same build time as you. I bought mine Jan 07.

 

did you replace the oil filter with a Mitsubishi one?

No. I don't see how that would affect the computer's behavior since there is no way it knows what brand of filter I'm using

Antilip: I can see the logicin that since it is just adding 7500 miles and saying 6 months..but mine is adding 6500 and 7 months..I might just turn it off..but it will bug me that it is wrong..

Perhaps when I get the motivation to have the dealer reflash for the throttle/transmission behavior, I'll see if it fixes it (maybe it was an early bug in the code)

 

FYI I my 08 Lancer's service reminder has the same "features"... I'm sure there is some sort of rhyme or reason its programmed that way... But I found it confusing and rather than figure it out for hours on end, I simply disabled it and use the Navi's service reminder function along with an excel spreadsheet

 

I know you can go into the options and change it on how long until the next service. I dont think 6500 miels was an option though. Other than that your car might have been set up wrong for 6500 not 7500? A computer issue?

 

I went through all the options on intervals...and none of them are what is listed in the sticky post after resetting it...the intervals were all correctbefore I reset it..which is what is strange

 

You read my post wrong the oil filter info was just an addition and nothing to do with the service reminder.

All I was trying to say is you should not fit an aftermarket oil filter on a Mitsubishi Engine. If you do you risk damaging your engine and it will not be fixed under warranty. Mitsubishi oil filters have a pressure release valve, If youfit an aftermarket filter it may expload or at worst seize the engine. Is it worth saving $5 also the valves become noisy as well
