Accidental Service Indicator Reset
In a frustrating turn of events, I think I may have mistakenly reset several of my service indicators.
Following a self-performed oil change I mentioned in another thread, I decided I'd reset the oil service indicator. Had some trouble finding the proper procedure, and in the process, I believe I did something to reset other indicators as well.
Scrolling through the service menu, here's what I see:
Brake Fluid - 03/2019 > Reset (with check mark)
Oil Service - mls 13,000 - 03/2019 > Reset (with check mark)
Vehicle Check - mls 28,000 - 03/2021 > Reset (with check mark)
Front Brakes - mls 26,000 > Reset (no check mark)
Rear Brakes - mls 30,000 > Reset (with check mark)
So, I'm not sure if my chart above makes sense to anyone else, but the '>' represents a BC button hold on the service item.
I'm not 100% sure I reset these myself. The last time I had a mini dealership check it out was around late March, so the 03/2019 number seems like it could be accurate. What's confusing me the most is that if the Oil Service indicator was recently reset, why is it saying 13,000 miles? Everything I've read says the interval should be 10k,15k or 30k, so I don't quite understand where the 13k is coming from. And obviously, my bigger concern is that if I screwed this up, how I should know when I need to get any of these items serviced?
The car is currently at 60,960 miles. I unfortunately have no service record, or any way of telling what the dealership reset/didn't reset, and no knowledge of what I may have reset by mistake or intention.
If anyone has any idea what could have happened, or what I should do in this case, any input would be highly appreciated.

Lol @ 119 views but no replies 
For what it's worth, I think I figured it out. I read somewhere that the mini's service indicators descend in increments of 1,000. My wife has not driven the car for 1,000 miles since the Mini dealership performed the 60,000 mile service in March, so I think the reason all of these indicators say they've recently been reset is for that reason.
If anyone has any ideas about whether or not this is accurate I'd definitely appreciate the input.
