I haven't used BP for a long time now since I started filling up at Costco. Is the fuel there not as good? (fuel economy is the same).

Costco uses Mobil fuel, similar to 7 Eleven and some Metro servos.

I use almost exclusively Mobil fuel, both from 7 Eleven and also from a Mobil outlet near home. I find that my Mondeo does a burn approx every 120-150km.

I found that I don't get as far when using BP diesel, I'm not sure if this is because I cannot get as much in when refilling (it foams up more) or if it is the fuel quality. Mobil fuel has an anti-foaming agent in it.

At 10,129 km on this oil (C4) and the car reminds me to change the oil.

I do mostly freeway driving.

Seems a bit early?

Most probably the service reset wasn't done at the last service?

It alarms at 20,000km I believe.

Whilst car is off, hold down the brake and the accelerator and turn the key to on (DON'T START IT). Continue to hold down. The HMI will state "Service reminder reset in progress" or something like that, and approx 30 seconds later will change to "Service reminder has been reset" or similar.

This reminds me, I must do mine when I finish work - I changed the oil & filter on Tuesday.....

I remember doing the reset at one point because soon after I changed the oil it showed up. Before that I didn't even know it was a thing.

I've been very busy lately but I'd like to change it before 15k km. At least before it gets too cold, haha.
