After putting about 300 miles on the car (the weather conditions are still marginal - about 5" of snow due today), when I get in the FSS display shows the clock face and negative 500.

Just how do I interpret this? (The manual seems to indicate this means I'm 500 days overdue for an oil change, but this is not likely correct.)

What am I missing?
