The Megane has started flashing a message saying 'Change oil soon'. It's on 14500 miles, the service is not due until 18K but the oil was changed at 9K. So I assume that the service message is just a counter down to the 18K point? Or does the car assess the quality of the oil like some of the VW's do?

Its a counter, nothing fancy going on, its set to count its way to 18k.

Darn! Must check Technical Forum more often. Nearly got a chance, for once, to help Xileno with his Megane, as opposed to him always helping me!

Well these chances are few and far between... ;-)

Always happy to help with specific Renault and VW queries.
