Auxiliary work with Long Life service:

Resetting the value in channel 2 will automatically reset fixed service intervals (15000/30000/12 months)

If conventional engine oil was used, then this is all that needs to be done.

If Long Life oil is used, then adaptation must be done the vehicle according to following table with respect to the oil quality:
