Second oil change.....

.....at 17,568 miles...cannot believe I put that many miles on my '07 in 11 months, what a fun car to drive. Gotta love the oil life monitor too...

I find myself taking more road trips than I used to. That's what racks up the miles for me. 18,000 in 13 months.

The oil life monitor is a much better measure of when to change oil than a general rule of thumb.

Glad you like the oil monitor. Personally, I don't use it, but that is just me.

The OLM is great, following emotions, I would have been on the 6th oil change....
