A computer analyzes your driving style and computes oil change needs based on mileage and other factors. If it were me I would ignore the computer and use an interval that suits the use you give the car. Perhaps every 5,000 miles with synthetic.
Thanks bro I had two oil changes and a major tune up just the other week so it's kinda odd this pop up ...I use the car for uber so i keep it up
The car does not know when the oil has been changed. There is a reset for the oil change message but you will have to check your owners manual for that.
Thank you it's had its maintenance .. Had a major tune up last week plugs and oil change etc so I don't need to go to jiffy lube right ?
I would not change the oil again if it has been a short while. Does the oil still look clean and is the oil level full?
Manually reset oil life to 100 % . Check oil first . Make sure it's still in there. If all is fine then reset the oil life manually using the buttons on steering wheel .
