I'm just wondering if anyone here actually follows the oil life monitor/sensor in their V6's, or you religiously change oil every 3K miles, or 7K for synthetic?
Just got my first oil change at 3K mile and switching to synthetic, but the system showed my oil life to have 78% left?
According to that, I have another 10K miles to go before I need an oil change.
The car determines the percentage of oil life by the heat up time of the oil and how it keeps temperature this determines viscosity and lubricity using several other factors its perfectly safe to go by oil life monitor but we still put 5k oil change stickers and I'd still feel weird waiting that long for an oil change
I use it. But I also was told not to switch to synthetic until 10K miles.. Hmm. But once the oil life says its getting Into about 25% ill look into it and change it. The biggest thing is keeping enough oil in your car. You never want to run too low. What kind of synthetic do you use?
I'm actually not sure. I bought the maintenance package with the car and opted for synthetic oil option. There's no way to no what kind the dealership uses
