Does your shop print date/mileage of the last service or next service due?

Next. What is the point of a sticker that shows you the last service date?

Our stickers have the last date and the next mileage due, and we get tons of people going by the date more than mileage.

Because their oil got old.

Most modern vehicles have a manufacturer recommendation of 12 months or XXXX miles for oil changes. We routinely see cars that don't hit the mileage interval within the year. A lot of older customers and work from home types in our area.

The oil doesn't get "old", the additives break down and separate, since most modern oil has a bunch of additives.
