9% Oil Life?!?!

I love to push buttons. On the weekend my oil life reading was 50-something percent. Oh well, so much for waiting for Trackey before booking my next service I think. This morning it read 48% so I'm thinking I'll book this week. Tonight after a fun little drive, 9%. Really! Can I even make it to the dealership on that?

It's not that big a deal, its just your basic reminder that an oil change is coming soon. She's not going to die if you hit the "change oil soon"

If that's the case, you know something is screwy. I would add 40% back on the counter if I were you.

I'd hate to speak for anyone, but here in CA you can get a smog cert for $150 sight unseen if you know the right guy.

I think I saw a TSB for the oil monitoring system acting up. Consult your dealer.
