Oil life Indicator

[Bama_Swampfox]

Is the oil life indicator strictly based on mileage or on CBS data? (Conditions Based Servicing: RPM, temperature, number of cold starts, etc.)?

I believe the latter.

I believe the latter.

Me too. I just did an oil change at 4700 miles and the life indication read 63% oil life remaining. So, it's definitely not just looking at miles/10,000 to calculate the percentage remaining.

No idea. Just stick with the every 5000 miles rule and call it a good day.

I recently did mine after about 4,000 miles and about little under 5 months, indicator said 44%.

when my '21 Mojave was new, the on-board oil life % was looking like an oil change every 8,000 miles and I was changing it at 6,000 miles. No with almost 80k on the odometer, I am changing oil at around 5,000 miles or between 15-20% oil life remaining. So, I think it adjusts to driving style, type and mileage.
