After an Oil Service reset, the service display should show 'Inspection 15000'
for four seconds and then revert to the odometer reading. Unless I misinterpret what you've said, you seem to expect something else. Certainly the 120,000 is most unusual. It's
not the odometer is it?
The service display is only valid for cars driven 15K miles a year or more. Any less than that and you should service it annually. The display for lower mileage cars is pretty meaningless and can be ignored. Resetting the display with a low annual mileage is unnecessary, though I suppose it does tell you which type of service comes next when you follow the MGR servicing schedules.
Details of the service display and it's three messages can be found in this downloadable Handbook:
