As my MY13 service indicator cannot be reset manually compared with older models with no DPF and needs dealer intervention what happens if you change oil and filter at home and just ignore it ?

No, it wont go into limp mode. Have you tried the method for this reported elsewhere on here?

Standing on a milking stool in a field with your finger in the air does not work on MY2013 onwards as you have to reset not only the miles to next service but also the DPF burn-off side of things (I await a better description).

As I understand it from reading in another post, using the above method resets the DPF counter: -

Cheers Steve, you've just clear up one of life's mysteries for me. DAVE.

Sounds good but no real way of finding out until the service indicator comes on and it will get a oil and filter change before then as I am not happy about 15,000 miles between oil changes. So none of it will be in sync and it will cost me upwards of £25 as a cash sale just to get the indicators reset as just in case.
