It checks othe oil, and driving style, and apparently how often the
bonnet is opened. My TDi did about 24k on the last service, but I don't
do short trips, and do a fair bit of motorway driving.
I think it should never be less than a traditional 10K mile service
interval, and it can be up to 2 years/30000 miles.

I do mainly short trips to work & back every day, about 4 miles, and the
