Dunno. I'd assume the ECU knows you're not far from the 12 month period and it's giving you a heads-up. Me, I get nowhere NEAR any 15k miles per year, so that's right-out.
It won't be 12 months until October.... Going forward I won't drive that much either. Although I received a full history of the vehicle from original owner, I wanted to get to know the car and find out as much as I could about it myself and of course because I enjoy driving it... Well since I have everything to do it, I guess she will be getting an oil change this weekend...
edited: had to read the literature you posted a few times for it to sink in, as to what it meant... so it's not just mileage but "driving style and conditions" that determine oil change interval. So I am guessing my spirited driving has shortened the cycle this go round...

Its not based solely on mileage or time, that would be same as a sticker reminding you when to change the oil.
Its based on an algorithm. (start-stop vs hyw is one I am aware) the computer takes all that into consideration.
Another one is air temperature.
My XK is due the next service in 27 Days and has covered 4858 miles since the last one. The Service Interval Indicator is NOT displayed in the Message Centre.
One reason for a false countdown being displayed would be if it was not reset at the last service.

But most people fall under the simple rule of x-miles/x-time.
Some manufacturers have abandoned these algos and others claim to be more clever.
My GMC Yukon says it counts crank shaft revolutions and lights up the change oil light after x revolutions. Time is not measured. Usually about 5000 miles for me.
My XK light came on after about 50 weeks since the last reset! (about 4000 miles) Pretty much perfect timing
SSM71850 infers that the procedure has changed from the 2014MY on all models (XK X150 14MY from VIN B52041).
This is the process for the 2014 on F-Type, XJ and XF petrol models so see if it works on yours and report back:
1. Set the ignition to the ON position.
2. Open the hood.
3. Open the drivers door.
NOTE: A service resetting message will appear on the instrument cluster.
4.Fully depress both the accelerator and brake pedals and hold for 10 seconds.
5. Set the ignition to the OFF position.
6. Set the ignition to the ON position and check the message has been cleared.
7. If the message remains, repeat the process.
I tried doing this several times too but it didn’t work. Why can’t Jaguar make it a straight-forward procedure?? I guess I’ll ask the dealer. :-/
They probably have a plug-in tool that does it. (You could probably buy one but won't be cheap.)
I'm fairly sure this was a menu option in Jaguar SDD when I was checking my XK for DTC history last month but I'm not sufficiently curious to go and hook up my laptop to find out for certain.
1. Press and hold the rear fog lamp switch (before the ignition is on).
2. Press the start button without applying the foot brake (do not start the engine)
3. Release the rear fog lamp switch (1sec)
4. Press and hold the trip computer cycle switch (within 1sec).
5. Press and hold the rear fog lamp switch. (within 1sec)
6. Continue to hold the trip computer and rear fog lamp switches.
7. The message center should display "resetting service mode" and then "service mode reset"
8. Release the trip computer and the fog lamp switches and turn the ignition off.
Now, when you do this, it must be in a nice, even pace to work well. Pretty much on a one-second cadence. Also, it is helpful to practice these steps a few times until a good rhythm is achieved, then do it for real. Seriously.
Well, I tried these steps again and it worked! Finally, after like six months my service light is out. I think what I was doing wrong was I was trying to time each step at one second rather than less than a second. Cee Jay’s instructions say within one second but I misread them as being one second. So this procedure works for a 2014 MY even though other 2014 MY Jags have a different procedure.
Resurrecting this thread because the service required indicator showed back up last night and again this morning. Car has been sitting for about a week and half since last driven. It has been 326 miles since oil change and resetting the indicator. Does anyone know why this would pop up in such a short distance. checked oil level and it is where it should be, battery is on ctek maintainer and while driving to work today had a steady 13.2-13.5 voltage reading on fusion app. Just to be clear the service required displays right at start up and then goes away within a few seconds.
How long has it been since last reset? Mine pops up ever year regardless of mileage.
When is the last time you did a Hard Reset, or had the battery disconnected?
Dunno, just throwing ideas out there.......

I reset it 326 miles ago, couple months with oil change and have not had battery disconnected or done a hard reset in that time...

because theres a bulletin about service reminder not showing up and reflashing the instrument pack. But also read that as reminders that reset and come back on in a couple days (customers claim we didnt reset, we do and reminder off but comes back on )
orrrr the reminder wont reset at all.
All 3 really apply

So do you suggest that the instrument pack needs to be reflashed? Or should I just reset reminder when it pops up, since I can change oil based on mileage?

This happened to me once. Oil changed at dealer, Dealer reset message. Next day it came back on. Dealer reset it again. All good Came on almost exactly 1 year later this past April. Changed oil, reset message, still off
Dealership is like the Church...
You can be a rebellious atheist all you want,
Sooner or later, everyone without exception has to deal with the maker's representatives, the maker designed it so.
