Hey, Tirona. I'm not sure what the exact time is, if you were told 15 and it works just continue to do that, it surely won't hurt anything even if might be a little too long. (I wouldn't be surprised if the mechanic padded the time a little since people seem to be a little quick to jump...).

Take care and enjoy reshifting the ride,
Greg
