Change oil light
I changed my oil at 46,600 miles,I now have 49,700 miles and the change oil light came on, I checked the oil and it is up to the full mark, it looks a little dirty so I will change it tomorrow, can I drive the car for a few more miles before I change it tomorrow, I have been using Mobile 1 5w30 and this is about when I planned on changing the oil but I need to use the car to go to court tomorrow about 10 miles away, any help please. And will the change oil light go out when I change the oil tomorrow.
Thanks
Kevin

To reset the light, key on, press the ENG/MET button, within 5 seconds press it again,then press and hold the GAUGES button till the change oil light starts flashing, continue to hold till it stops flashing.

Re: Change oil light (K94C4)
The early oil sensors took into account mileage and engine temperature. But they based the intervals on dyno oil, rather than synthetic.
Do yourself a favor, and check out this oil study. It will show you just how long you can go between oil changes, when using synthetics. Oil life monitor or not, I run the oil 7500 miles, minimum.
