Lol I didn't realize you would be "case sensitive" sorry mate. Didn't know upper cases automatically meant you were shouting .

Did your maintenance minder trigger at 3,638 to do an oil change?

No I was at 30% thought I'd just take it

You must do some heavy city driving. I'm at 7,300 mi and still have 40℅ left.

Oh ok, makes sense. It's recommended to do the 1st oil change at 15% oil life or lower. We're at around the same mileage but it just clicked to 40% oil life remaining.

Yeah when I got in the car I felt the difference for sure . Felt good as new . I'll probably wait a little longer for next oil change . I gotta update the records so they stay on file .

I would never go 7000 miles without an oil change. I don't care what the maintenance minder says. And I would never change my oil without changing the filter. That's just plain stupid. I changed my oil and filter myself today at 4500 miles. It was a hassle getting the cover back on the underside, but it was worth it doing it myself. I used Mobil 1 extended performance 0W20. My maintenance minder was at 30%.

Keep in mind, that may be true for regular oil. Synthetic usually does go for 7k+ miles.

Wondering if anyone has found any metal shavings in the 1st change?
