5 minute job on our cars so it's not a problem.

Trust someone to change the oil and they end up underfilling, using the wrong grade, and/or wrong filter. Debating oil change interval is like debating religious beliefs. I say OP should change oil early if that makes him feel better. Seriously guys, it took a full 22 days in 2022 to get a new oil thread? Things are really slipping around here! |

#0 the built-in search function is borderline useless, the only realistic way to find anything here is using an external search engine and specifying "site:camaro6.com" #1, we are people, not machines, and people don't work that way, they may be using a forum for interaction and not as a google/wikipedia substitute #2 knowledge evolves over time, a search hit finding what was said in 2016 or 2017 about a topic may no longer represent the current best information in 2022

I put my car in storage for the winter. I changed the oil in September 2020 and it was complaining about low oil life when I pulled the car out in March 2021 (only six months, around 1000 miles driven). Makes me wonder if there's additional pieces of the algorithm that watch for lack of use as well. |

I would also point out that probably the last thing the average person is thinking about when they are buying a new car is what the future maintenance interval is. Bottom line: Follow the owners manual for oil changes just like you do for every other maintenance item on your car. This isn't 1964 anymore, and there is no engineering reason to change your synthetic oil at some ridiculous interval, unless you enjoy wasting oil and money.
