Where's our speedo sensor? Gearbox? or drive by wire, using our DSC wheel revolution sensor to determine our speed/odo? If its like JDM, its at the gearbox, so only the driving (not steering) wheel size will affect the speedo/odo. FWD, then its front wheel size. RWD, then its rear wheel size, that will affect our speedo/odo reading. Once your odo is affected, the FC calculation and oil change interval differs accordingly, base on the above percentage.
