no probs m8 as for the oil change i always do mine when i first brought my cars as you never know i do it tho for my own peice of mind the lights mean the fewer green that are on the next service is due the yellow lights with oil service and inspection means service routine is due and red lights means service routine is over due the clock symbol shows that the brake fluid is due to be changed as for changing the oil i change mine every 10000 miles or 12 months what ever comes sooner
