Service light

[Mike Lindsay]

My 1997 V70 TDI needs servicing in another 2000 miles at 98,000.
The service light is now on most of the time.
My local Volvo agent says this is OK, don't worry about it.

Opinions please from disinterested parties.

Service light is a reminder (nag device) to get the car in for routine
service, oil change and larger services that coincide with oil changes.
Can be reset to a limited number of other intervals if you do your own
service by the dealer or possibly a high end scan tool. It turns off in
about 2 minutes.

If your "check engine" light is on - that is different.
