I have reached 0% for oil life, how many more miles can I run safely without ruining my car in any way?

Soccerprep205

Well i was like 1500 past an oil change when i got back from my roadtrip to cali. And i was sitting at like 15% left.... so im pretty sure that you want to get it changed before 30% left... i think...

I took my car to have the oil changed at 60% (3.5k miles).

Im not sure but 0% sounds way past red line to me. I think you have however many miles it will be to get you to your dealer left.

There is a reason why the oil life monitoring system screams at you when the life gets that low. The short answer - no more miles. Get the oil changed immediately. Why on earth would you want to risk it?

It's obviously not an exact science but I'd get the oil changed NOW. I think it's safe to say that most folks here are changing their oil long before reaching the 0% point.

to the shop asap...

You are going to be struck by lighting from the "corvette gods"... Change the oil!, never let it get to 0%

Sometimes it takes a long time to see the results of not taking proper care of the motor. So who knows what the threshold is. You may already be past that and causing harm. Maybe not. Better safe than sorry I say, and get that oil changed right away before driving it much.

0%, this must be a first.

warp core breach!

I go below 0% quite often on mine.

They built in some leeway obviously, so it's not like your engine will self destruct as soon as it hits zero.

.......Well..........you let us know now..........when you buy a new engine.

thetopdog

I may be wrong on this but 0% is not dangerous, that's when the computer is telling you it SHOULD be changed. I don't think there's much reason to change it before it gets close to 0%. And I'm sure they've built in a little safety margin in there so that your engine is not going to explode when you pass 0%, your car will be fine

Is there a particular reason why you want to risk problems by not changing the oil??? How many miles and how long has it been since your last oil change? The computer is there for a reason. Why ignore it??

I'm understanding that you see ZERO percent left displayed...yet you are asking how much further you can go?

That's a silly question with a very obvious answer

Why take any chances with such an expensive vehicle. Get it changed well before it gets that low. An oil change is not a major expense.

In otherwords, DO IT NOW.

djfullshred

No it won't self destruct. Premature engine wear is a cumilitive effect of not taking good care of it over time. I am not an engineer of course, so I don't know if your pattern is harmful or not however. I wouldn't do that though. Oil changes are cheap & easy to do.

Patman

Why are you laughing at me? I get an oil analysis done after every single oil change (it's a hobby of mine) and it's proven that what I'm doing is safe.
