Apologies if this has been asked. I feel like it probably has, but a search yielded no results.

This morning, I got a reminder on my MFD saying to do an oil change in 30 days. Today marks 8 months from delivery, so I assume it's set to remind to change the oil at 9 months.

Why is that the case, if the service intervals are 12 months? Seems strange to me. Why wouldn't they make it 6 months or not at all.

Also annoying you have to take it to a dealer to have it done. I could probably do it myself if there was a way to disable the reminder.
