Can someone point me at the second and subsequent oil change schedule? I'm looking at the manual page 11-15, so I did RTFM but it doesn't seem to cover the 500 mile change, and mine is asking again at 2500, so I want to see what is actually called for.

I had one at 1000 that it doesn't know about, because I didn't reset for that one.

Must be a PDF or a doc somewhere that contains this. Search for "second oil change" didn't yield much. Best I could find is " Once the break-in oil change is performed, the Oil Life Monitor should be reset and customers should follow the Oil Life Monitoring system for all future oil change needs.", so if that's where I'm at, it's ready for a change, but didn't want to overlook a more authoritative schedule.

Thanks,
Dave

OLM is it. Basically, you follow the OLM. However, you always change once per year even if the OLM still says you have 90% oil life left.

I got my 500 mile change 1 of 5.
I got a second change at 6000 miles.
A 3rd change at 12000 miles.
I plan to get a change at 18000, and then again at 24000 to use the total of 5 free.
Some people may not put enough miles on their car to capture use of all 5, but I will.
After that I will follow the Oil life percentage, but usually change at under 30% life.

I wonder why mine's ready at 2700 miles? 500 mile change was in the summer, so it's really just mostly sat for the winter other than the odd sunny day. Must be time based, or more likely, a combination of time and mileage. Or even more likely, time vs rpm vs load vs mileage or something complicated.

It is taken time into consideration and since you didn't do a reset on that last oil change, the computer does not know about it.
