Well, my 2004 car has a 'service due' indicator that flashes on the
DID at start-up... But it won't tell me miles left etc. Just counts
down from about 1500 miles (i.e., Service Due in 1500 miles, Service
Due in 1000 miles, etc). I always assumed it was just a rote count-
down. My Honda Odyssey has an 'oil life' indicator 0 right now, it
says 'Oil Life 30%'. I follow that indicator for oil changes, but I
have always done 5,000 mile intervals on the Audi, using Mobil1 0w-40
as recommended by Audi.
