Have you changed your oil yet? Oil life monitor question.

[Brian_J]

For those that have changed their oil already, did the oil life monitor reset on its own? Or did you have to reset it manually? Just trying to determine how “intelligent” it is.

Throw that oil monitor out and change your oil based on your driving habits and miles driven between changes.

Unless you're driving like a maniac everywhere or using canola oil, 5000 miles is a waste of time and money.

To each their own. But most would say me waiting till 5k to do the first oil change was to long. But I've done alot of idling along with the highway miles.

Fair enough. I've got about 1600 miles on mine and not sure if I should change it soon given it's the first one.

Tbh I only changed it when I did because it's part of my warranty. Free oil changes till 100k through US warranties. Along with alot of other stuff...
