Maintenance Minder Frozen After Flash
Posted: Tue Oct 06, 2020 2:14 pm
Hi KTuner friends,
I flashed my new 2020 2.0T AT at 1400 miles, 90% oil life remaining according to the maintenance minder (MM). My car now has over 2400 miles on it and the MM is still at 90%. Is there reason to believe that flashing, somehow, caused the MM to freeze my oil life? What is the expected behavior?
When I bring it to the dealer for its 1st service, if it's still at 90% with say 5K miles, I was thinking of resetting it before I go in and then hopefully it decreases the oil life appropriately after being reset. Can anyone offer advise? Maybe I need to travel more than 1K miles for the MM to drop even 1 percent, and it's not frozen.
Thanks for any input.
