oil service light is programmed to come on every 20,000 miles, which was the recommended interval.

Additionally, I didn't see where I could change the OEM service interval to something like 5000mi.

Of course none of us waits that long to change the oil, so if you reset at every change you'll never see the reminder.

FWIW, on the cars I've previously owned with such a feature, the interval was hard-coded into the ECU with no interaction save from resetting the accumulator back to zero.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

Ok, I'm stumped. Is there a way to see/call up when the next service is due (via the instrument cluster)? I've searched the owners manual, but can't seem to find hide nor hair regarding this. After doing an oil change, I used iCarsoft to reset the service interval. However, I have no idea if it actually did anything as there was no dash warning indicating an oil service was due. Additionally, I didn't see where I could change the OEM service interval to something like 5000mi. Thanks! 987.1 Cayman

POST 2Original post

I wasn't even aware there was a light / cluster message for this on the 987, though I've only put a couple thousand miles on mine since I got it. FWIW, on the cars I've previously owned with such a feature, the interval was hard-coded into the ECU with no interaction save from resetting the accumulator back to zero.

POST 3Original post

When I clear the service reminder my with Durametric the clock goes to 12:00. Did yours do that ? I dont think there is a DIY method of changing the service reminder interval. Ive put about 40,000 miles on mine and never seen the reminder due to resetting it every 5000 miles when I service it.

POST 4Original post

New the car so might not be up to speed yet. On my 2nd gen, there is a maint que on the OBD screen. I just cycle the wand until it appears, once it does, activate it and it should tell how many miles/days to next service....At least that's what mine does.

POST 5Original post

@Poorsche x Yes! My clock did change to 1200, and I couldn't figure out why as I had the battery on a tender the entire time. @jetstream The 987.1 must be sans that function. I scrolled through, and scoured the owners manual, but found nothing. I guess I'll be doing it the old fashioned way; writing the next service reminder on paper.

POST 6Original post

IIRC the 987.1 oil service light is programmed to come on every 20,000 miles, which was the recommended interval. Of course none of us waits that long to change the oil, so if you reset at every change you'll never see the reminder. I don't think it's changeable.
