Question Resetting the MID After Oil Change?

I just had my oil changed at the dealer after 4100 miles. They reset the MID display so it now says "oil life 100%" or something similar. When the MID is reset after an oil change what happens to upcoming maintenance calculations. For example, does a 7000 mile maintenance get now computed from 0 miles or from the 4100 that the car actually has? I like the comcept of the MID but don't want to miss out on a proper maintenance interval. Thanks. Steve

Other service items are computed individually, so resetting the MID will not affect the calculation for other items.

To see how to correctly reset the MID, and an explanation of the service reminder popup, check out this thread.
