A7 maintenence

[GrDeleto]

OK so I got the a7 code. Which iirc means something for engine change and brake fluid change. Strange thing is the oil life is 100%. Got this car at 15k miles. It's fine just I'm a bit confused.
Should I get both changed or is it a false alarm that the dealer forgot to reset. Yeah i got it cpo that's why it has a warranty.

Ok forgot I had a carfax of this thing engine oil and filter was changed less than a month ago.

They probably did the oil but not the brake fluid.

Yeah. Thing is just wondering why it's there now when technically it hasn't been 3 years but 2 years.

It was bought originally on 11/12/2020. I bought it 1/8/2023. So it's technically 2 years.

if you changed the oil already, ignore it. As far as brake fluid, honestly look at the fluid reservoir itself. See if it needs to be topped or or flushed. If you know it hasn't been done in like 3+ years, i would do it. I flushed my brake/clutch fluid 2022 and my car is 2018. I have like 3 things on maintenance minder but I ignore all of them lol

The A7 in the second pic is giving you a heads up on what the car requires next service interval. It is not what has just be done, as oil life is 100% & so has been re-set. This will put the brake fluid change closer to the 3 year interval by the time service is required. Hope this makes sense.
