I think N118 was applied to most NA vehicles at the first service so as the reset wasn’t working we probably did not get early service notification s (I didn’t anyway)
An oil sample would be a good idea I’m a bit reluctant to use a US Lab CO’s I may have to pay tariffs getting the sample over the border

I did get the service warning, but not early, so it's working on mine. Maybe it doesn't "taste" the oil properly to sense dilution, or i have no issues with that.
If anything happens, i have the warranty and my lease ends before the warranty expires, so this is a non issue for me. I've only had minor issues with mine, related to infotainment and app rather than anything mechanical.

It actually doesn't "taste" the oil at all - it estimates the dilution by how many active regeneration cycles have been either started or finished - it's not really clear which. There may be other factors in there as well, but it decides when to do an active regeneration by measuring the pressure drop across the DPF. Once it reaches a certain level it starts an active regen to clean it out. Driving style determines how fast the DPF fills up with soot.
So either your estimator is working perfectly and your vehicle hasn't had very many regen cycles based on your driving style (which, again, based on your previous posts doesn't seem to be any more "ideal" for a turbodiesel than anyone else's), or it's not working at all. -

I would have been surprised if it actually "tasted" the oil
I just had no idea how it knows. And since it's a software thing, and it's not sending me to the dealer for service every other month, i would say i have no problems !
What is an "ideal" driving style for a turbo diesel ?
Has anyone had an actual issue with dilution ? or as AndrewS asked, is it just a software issue ?
