Has the OLM called for an oil change before 12 months/10k miles?

Oil monitors are very simple systems when have been around for a long long time, nothing wrong with it. More stop and go driving less oil life, more highway driving more oil life.

Not a simple system, in the Hybrid, anyway. With the Hybrid, more stop & go means the gasoline engine doesn't run nearly as much. So Stop & go = longer oil life for Hybrid owners. And highway driving is nearly all gasoline engine, so less oil life per ODO miles, for Hybrid owners/

From the manual.

When to Expect the OIL CHANGE REQUIRED Message

Normal
7,500–12,500 mi
(12,000–20,000 km)

Looks like you have a 2023. On my 2022, that portion of the PDF manual I downloaded says 7,500 to 10,000 miles. They must have increased the allowable interval in 2023.

2024 manual has shortened all that to:

Your vehicle comes with the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor system, a message appears in the instrument cluster display at the proper oil change interval. This interval may be up to one year or 10,000 mi (16,000 km), hybrid vehicles could exceed 10,000 mi (16,000 km).
When the oil change message appears in the instrument cluster display, it is time for an oil change. Make sure you perform the oil change within two weeks or 500 mi (800 km) of the message appearing. Make sure to reset the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor after each oil change. See Resetting the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor.
If your instrument cluster display resets prematurely or becomes inoperative, you should perform the oil change interval at six months or 5,000 mi (8,000 km) from your last oil change. Never exceed one year or 10,000 mi (16,000 km) between oil change intervals.
You can drive your vehicle in such a way that may lead to higher oil consumption including extended time at high engine speeds, high loads, engine braking, hard cornering maneuvers, track and off-road usage. Under these conditions, oil consumption of approximately 1 quart per 500 miles (1 liter per 800 km) is possible. Check the engine oil level at every refueling and adjust to maintain proper levels to avoid engine damage.

No chart that I'm seeing.

Perhaps there specific to VIN is that table and advice, not for Hybrid though.

Just did an oil change a few days ago 6/9/2024 @ 6117 miles with OLM at 11%, and close to a yr since I picked up my hybrid truck(7/1/2023).

12k on my 22 Mav. Oil change every 2k miles with Pennzoil Platinum and a Wix filter. Yes, I know, but I don't care.

According to the OLM, I would be due for an oil change at around 15,000 miles (0%). Or a year.

As the title says, I'm curious as to whether anyone has gotten to 0% on the oil life monitor before hitting 10,000 miles or 12 months. I know that, given the right operating conditions, it can call for an earlier oil change, but it seems like most people aren't experiencing those conditions. I'm at 3,800 miles and 65% oil life remaining per the Ford app and I drive a mix of probably 25% city, 75% highway miles, with a decent amount of cold starts and use of remote start during the winter (I'm not clear on all of the variables which might affect Ford's OLM algorithm, as I've heard conflicting reports).

My hybrid hit about 6k miles and one year when it finally got to 0. I'm guessing the one year is why.

You don't care about yourself, others, or the environment. Nice.

Thanks for posting that.

Curious if you'd estimate your elec/ICE usage to be around 33/67% since March?
(kinda checking if my formula's are good for other usage).

I'm in same boat, 1 yr is obviously my limit before miles hit.
