Dash Warning: "Service Engine Oil" - Anyone else had it?

[Holden_Mechanic]

the reason it gets "Under the radar" is because its not a major prob and if the customer dont complain, dont fix it till they do (unless its dangerous)

:thumbsup:

It's actually programmed to do it as the car is exported to the middle east where it's extreme conditions and must regularly be serviced. They should fix it at Holden at the 3000 service but sometimes it gets underneath the radar.

I know all about this problem my SV6 just had it. The offical story behind this problem is the bosch software which opperates this cars computers. Holden are going to issue a letter to all SV6 owners in the next month to returne their cars to the closes holden dealer for a 'software' upgrade. To fix the problem for the time being when the car is off press both the up and down arrows then turn the key when you hear a beep press set and set again when the reset service reminder promp comes up

That sounds like the normal "service" reminder with a picture of a spanner ?

The "service engine oil" is a different message that has a graphic of a oil can (from memory)
