Right, but it seems to me they would account for that. Maybe set the OLM to 3k mile maximum instead of 5k or whatever it normally is.
All I'm doing is reading the manual. For the other conditions it says follow IOLM except for dust, dirt roads and off-road which is a flat 5,000 mi just like an accidentally reset IOLM. For sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East is says 3,000 mi with SM/SN or equivalent and 1,800 mi with lower quality oils with no allowance for the IOLM.
You would have to find someone that bought one in that area to find out if their IOLM had been turned into flat 3,000 mi / 365 day counter (Since the time period isn't changed) or it still tracks 10,000 mi to 3,000 mi depending on conditions.
