I know my wrench with the clock has been on since I bought the car and that was when the car had 30 miles on.
Now that's strange - when I first noticed the "wrench" it had the clock and read 34, by the time I got my appointment and brought it in it read 51 - It had counted UP!
From what I understand the computer computes service intervals based on the way you drive - hot rod it and it calls for more frequent changes. I generally take it easy on my Crossfire, so I got a 3500 interval, but it's also based on if you don't use your car and it just sits, which mine does. I might add, this was my first change, maybe the computer takes that in account as Mobil 1 is good for 10K miles.
Edit add - Ok, maybe I have it figured - the first 34 had a minus in front of it as did the 51, maybe after it counts down to zero days, it may go negative. I may have been "wrenched" for awhile, that icon is easy to miss.
