Taking in all4 s for its first service next week. Mileage is at about 4400 and car is telling us its time, service manager did not seem to be shocked by this but several of the people we met at the January gathering seemed to be surprised. Also read some conflicting info on whether its the service dept. or the car that is actually determining the intervals for oil change and such. Any insight is always appreciated, thanx.

It is the car telling you when to bring it in for service. Oil change is based on several factors, type of driving, environmental conditions, etc. A little supprised that it is telling you that at 4,400 miles, it is usually around 10k from my experience over 4 MINI's. But maybe it is for some other issue.

The dealer enters the date and mileage for the next oil change. The your car adjusts the mileage based on the type of driving you are doing.
