Just a quicky and not something that I'm overly worried about though some input would be good. My Motorhome is a 2023 Euro7 180hp 9 speed Fiat Ducato, I had a full service at 7500miles with a FIAT main dealer which included a full engine oil and filter change plus the normal uneccessary brake fluid change. As I'm mechnically competent and like to keep my MH in tip top order, I did a further oil and filter change at 12000 mile. Before we left for our French trip last week I had a warning come on the dash "Change Oil in 1650 miles" which I thought was strange as I've only done 5000 miles since changing the oil!!!
Oh and we've only done 980 miles since leaving home and its now saying "Change Engine Oil".
My question therefore is; does the Engine diagnose the quality of the oil or is it programmed as miles done?
I'm very mechnically sympathetic and drive our motorhome with care and always use a good quality oil as specified by Fiat together with genuine Fiat parts.
