Some guys at MBworld were finding there cars were calling for service in as little as 3,500 miles!
Unlike FSS the new system adapts to your driving style, ie if you do a lot of around town driving it will cut everything short.

FSS also adapts to your driving style, it reduces the amount of time between service intervals if you drive your car hard. It also calls for a service a or b depending on how hard the car is being driven. For example on my car it called for 3 A services in a row now I am 3000 miles away from a B service. Sometimes it alternates between A and B services one after another, it all depends on how hard you drive you car.
I have the 00+ cluster not the 96-99 cluster which tells you how many miles you are away from a service but that also is based on how hard you drive your car.
