Oil and filter every 5000k and a tank of BP Ultimate 98 every fourth fill. All good for keeping a clean engine.

They don't reset the OLM as part of the service, you need to do it yourself.
With the engine off in engineering mode press the accelerator to the floor three times in succession. No more no less.

Thanks for the answer mate. And cheers everyone on the advice about when to change the oil.

If you care about your car you will change it every 5000km at the most. I change the VN's oil every 3000km.

personally i wouldnt be using the oil the service department supplies. I always change my oil every 5k and use Royal Purple. The way i see it i love my car, its my baby and she only gets the best so if there is some way i can help her wear less, run cooler, ride smoother ect ect , i'll do it :)
