Oil and Change Oil Light/Onstar Reports
I just changed my oil. I remember the debate as to whether or not to pay attention to the DIC / Onstar for it, so I thought that I would wait and see what the outcome of this is. Let me tell you, go with what we were all taught as kids and forget about the damned light/Onstar report:
I don't think the pic fully shows the effects, but it isn't pretty. He's happy with a full belly of Mobil 1 and a new Mobil 1 oil filter now. He won't go over 5,000 miles again without a change.
Oh, that was mostly HWY driving with the exception of yesterday and a trip through the wilderness area 2 weeks ago.

It was almost 8,000 miles before it told me to do it. Just wanted to see what how it worked. Like I said, every 5,000 with Mobil 1 normally.

RE: Oil and Change Oil Light/Onstar Reports
Mine's a lease. Have 40K mi. on it. Light just came on for the 3rd change... Guess that averages out to about 13,000 between changes. If I was going to keep it for years and put 150,000 miles on it, I might stick to 5,000 to 7,500/change. But with the 100,000 mile powertrain warranty, if you follow the light, you're covered for whatever happens to the engine because of GM's light/OnStar monitor.
