On petrol-engined vehicles with flexible service interval, service intervals are calculated on the basis of not only distance covered and time since last service, but also fuel consumption and oil temperature. This calculation gives a figure for the deterioration of the oil in relation to thermal load. On diesel-engined vehicles, the deterioration of the oil is calculated on the basis of engine speed, engine load, distance covered and oil temperature. This gives values for thermal load and carbon deposits. The deterioration of the oil is the deciding factor in determining when the next service is due.

The shortest service interval is 15000 km or 12 months.

The service intervals for flexible oil changes must be programmed as follows:
