I agree with you on this. I go to 4000 miles myself. At 3 to 4000 miles you can really smell fuel in the oil in the ecoboost engine oil. I don't trust diluted oil. I am happy to spend a little extra time and money to keep fresh Restore and Protect Valvoline in there.Ok,so every 3000 miles to some people is way to soon.one problem thoughive been servicing my cars since early 60,s and oil gets changed every 3000 miles and thats not changing
just want to know how to keep the light from coming back on!
At least every other week I hit zero miles to empty and drive miles to the station. Always have about a Gallon left.
No. Fluid changes have recommended miles AND time intervals. The old wisdom was 3000 miles/6 months or maybe even 3 months. So I'm actually doing it much sooner than the old ways in recognition of synthetic oils. There is nothing time based about tires wearing unevenly.
That's not true. As I said, I went 1 year 1500 miles and the OLM monitor was around 45%. The logic is more complicated than what you think. It's on a pace right now having only been in winter to run out much sooner than that.
No. Your recollection is wrong, or it was reset. It will absolutely reach 0% at 1 year. Also, Ford specifically says that the maximum interval for an oil change regardless of mileage is 1 year.
(tilde) (sorry limited keyboard) Do I detect a real disagreement here about the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor?
ehhh - been enough posts to prove it's doing more than flat mileage or date calcs.
That's pretty good instead of the up or down incline. Could the correct turn actually slosh the fuel over to the correct side and stay there for use?
It's a cazoo difficult on my android. It is found by pressing the =\ key on the left end of symbol string line on the numeric keyboard where sq root, etc are.
Brilliant engineering
~Ahhh, found it. Double shift, sorta. Thought my android was too cheap to have it. Thanks.
