Ok. That was sarcasm for all new viewers that haven't followed the hoily war.
I scanned through all the available software updates for all computers and it was no one mentioning a reduction in oil service life.
It seems to be the ECM (Trionic) that sends the oil life service information to ICM to be displayed on the SID.
So I assume the change of oil life remaining is a Tech 2 setting that is entered manually either into the ECM or the ICM as a spare part programming of sort.
That setting may or may not be altered if and when a software update is performed on the ECM or ICM.
I don't know for sure.
