I got my Supra back in February; it only had 60 miles on it at the time. It went in for the first "checkup" in mid-March, right before the pandemic took hold. Since then I've been working from home and therefore don't drive the car that much. As a result, it's only got about 1900 miles on it.
However, because it's been 6 months since the last service, the car (well, iDrive) is complaining that it's overdue for service (i.e. it was due in September) and is telling me that my oil is overdue for a change. Sometimes it pops up that "Not changing the oil is bad for the car" type of warning.
Should I even bother getting the oil changed at this point? I don't have the OBD equipment to turn off the notices on my own. The service should be free of course, or close to it depending on what else they do. Just wondering at this point, really.
