In my case, the actual kms done was about 15,000 to 18,000 kms. Also, I have serviced my car in two different dealerships and on both occasions, the meter was not reset to 25,000 kms but quite a bit lower without any instigation on my part. So, I find the BSRI adequately covers my maintenance since my car has been serviced or had oil changed twice already under BSRI despite having done only 22,000 kms todate. My next service / oil change (3rd service / oil change) is due in February 2009 (i.e. BTW, it's not just the 25,000 kms mark but there's a periodic indicator too) by which time I would have covered less than 30,000 kms. I know of other forumers who have similar experiences but I don't think I'm at liberty to disclose who. It doesn't matter anyway cos again, the setting was left entirely to the service centres without any request for favors on our part. Somehow, the service indicators worked within reasonable limits for some of us.</p></blockquote><p></p>
