importkiller's photo gallery 		I've been trying to see just how long it takes to get it to come on...It came on last night...6550 miles after my last oil change....soooooo I wouldn't rely on it too much to tell you when to change your oil.

blackstangs281's photo gallery 		Isn't that what the manual says to change it at.  I know on my H2, when I hit around 3000 miles it is still on 65%.

I guess It all depends on short trips, temp,and rpm.

importkiller's photo gallery 		hmmm...thats intersesting. . Whatever the determing factor is in triggering the message, 6000+ miles on dino-oil is too long for my liking.

Muddydawg75's photo gallery 		We change oil too much in the US anyways....  read some of the shear reports on oil and the GM Oil Life system is still pretty damn conservative, IMHO.

I've seen reports on Synthetics that are still in orginal viscosity condition after 30k miles.

mfish's photo gallery 		I second that.

I change mine every 5000 miles using synthetic oil.
