I have a 1600 miles to my home. If the change oil message appears before I get back what are my options?

IFound reply. Online. Change oil is mainly time related.Oil change date is November 8th. Two months from now.

You are good for a 1,600 mile trip on your current oil.

The 22% is probably based on time.
If it were miles, 3600/~7500 would be about 50%
My guess is you have 2.6 months left i.e ~2.6/12 = 22%

Bottom Line don't worry if you don't quite make it when it shows 5% life left on your dash. It will pop up and you have to press OK to have message go away.
