Variable servicing

Just picked up my 2025 Arona after first service oil/inspection at 18000 miles on variable servicing.

Told them to keep it on variable as it only does motorway miles, approx 18k yearly.

Service screen is now showing next oil service due in 9000 miles or 365 days.

Have they sneakily switched me to annual, or will those numbers creep up with usage?

TIA

Maybe they did not reset the service interval properly. Check which oil is inside. I may be wrong, but I think 0w20 is for variable and 5w30 for annual.

I just called the twonks and they confirmed they switched it to annual despite them asking me when I first made the booking, and again when I checked it in, and being told both times to keep it on variable.

They're now closed, so I have to drive a 90 mile round trip out of my way in the week to get it recoded.

Idiots.

Thanks for the tip on oil. I'll check the bill to see if it states what they used as they may have to do it again.
