lkatze2 Report post Posted August 23, 2017 my oil change reminder light just came on at approximately 5000 miles on the odometer since the last oil change. I do the oil changes myself and I reset the oil life at the last oil change. I am confused since the owners manual recommends the oil change at 10,000 miles. Anybody know how many miles when there oil change reminder warning light comes on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murphy Report post Posted August 23, 2017 Oil change is 10,000 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waldo Report post Posted August 23, 2017 You have a "smart" oil minder, so it's adjusting for things like your driving conditions, warm up times, engine loads and so on. If it's coming on early, then it's found something that you're doing that falls in to the "severe service" side of operation. Best to follow it's recommendation.
