Pretty sure it's a tool will lose very little value ,
In China?

They are a real pain to drive due to lane keeping guidance, main reason I didn't buy a German car with no indicators.Does it have working indicators ?? as all the ones in the uk seem to not work

You're not the only KP to get confused by that reference then, lol, yes it drives very nicely.My Mrs bought you a car?
Oh wait never mind
Looks good by the way
Only 40k miles on it, imported from Singapore, one of 1500 sedans made with the biturbo V10
Presume you`re making reference to the main problem with Audis in the UK is the w1nker in the driver`s seat...?? I`ve noticed it`s a bit of a problem with some newish Volvos too....

Unless doing oil sampling its all guess work.
Ive done many engine extension programs in mines with cat and cummins.
As an example if you want to go from 250 to 500 hrs, first review all 250 samole data,farmers wont have this.
Then we sample daily from 250 to 500, sometimes we never made it as the results were to bad and have ti change oil at 320 etc.
Its all in ppm, the old tell by eye is utter horse shite.
If you really want to be top notch you would go by fuel burn as this is related to load.
I have done algorithms that group fuel burn in to packets of 10 and then had algorithms to indicate when oil to be changed.

What does a car "read" to give a service time on its display?

On our biogas CHP (6 cyl MAN) we have been able to go from 1000 hours change with Mobil Pegasus 610 oil, only just getting by, to 1350 hours on Petro Canada Syntron CG40 (a cheaper oil!), which has paid off the cost of sampling. I think we might go further, but that pushes the interval on the other things done at the same time.
Using an extended sump rather than the original sump initially increased the interval from 500 to 1000 hours.

Mine doesn't, its altering every day according to the App, driving style and or distances travelled for each trip or even temperatures maybe?
Currently its estimating 1st service in 3600 miles time with the miles done 15690

Ive done haul trucks and some diggers on 1000hr, however not all parameters are caught in sampling as they are time consuming to do.
Ag gear can be like mining gear and be highly variable in load during the year, so telematics is vital to assist to cheapen off sampling costs.

Is it doing a fuel burn calculation?
Is it giving you a service km and thats variable?
Fuel burn gives this sort of variation, planners hate it.
