Any tips on how to keep the tracker at 7000 (or more)?
It will adjust itself over time. Mine did the same thing and it went back up to about 7200 before it started to count down again. I bought mine on July 23rd. It had a fresh oil change when I picked it up and read 8200 miles on the FSS display. It dropped to about 7800 on the 150 mile trip home( I drove it HARD), and went up and down until it settled out. The car had 14,250 miles on it when I got it. It now has 20,900 miles on it and still reads about 1500 miles till it's due. So, I'll end up with about 8150 miles on this oil-change. BTW, I race mine and drive it pretty hard, so I would just keep an eye on it. I should work itself out. If you sit in traffic that much it might end up being as low as 6,000 miles, but you will probably get a little more than that.
