Check your service booklet under ‘regular checks’. It’s recommended that you check the oil, coolant, brake fluid and windshield washing system levels regularly…i.e., weekly, when refueling or before any long journey. It is also recommended that you check the tire pressure every other week.
The FSS PLUS service indicator informs the driver when the next vehicle maintenance service is due. It evaluates engine temp, oil level, vehicle speed, distance driven and the time elapsed since the last service.
When I bought my car I was told that the time between oil changes is about 10,000 miles (16,093 km) or one year. I purchased my car with 8,013 miles (12,896 km) on it. We had the dealer do the A service (that is what they called it) at that time. And now almost a year to date I did the B service at 19,332 miles (31,112 km) that means I went 11,319 miles (18,216 km) before it needed the oil changed.
And yes it is a teeny tiny filter; I really thought that I had been sold the wrong part because it is so small.
