Folks, maintenance manual clearly says oil should be changed at least ANNUALLY, so for low-mileage drivers (like me), make sure to try to get it done a few days before the anniversary, so dealers don't give us crap on the last year, since it'd be done a few days before maintenance program expires.

The issue I want your opinon on is tech told me when they do that, they don't reset the system, so it doesn't trigger a tranny and diff oil change by the 3rd oil change. I think it SHOULD be reset by the same principle, no? We want the tranny and diff oil changed every 3 years, regardless of mileage, no? Comments welcome. I'm far from that, but just wanted to know. I saw my car on the lift, and the tranny needs a cover removed, so it won't be an easy job, but I'll definitely do it myself after warranty. Good day.
