I like the supposed engineering behind the Oil Life Monitor - but old habits
die hard. I did do my first change early because the monitor came on at
2,466, and the car was manufactured 4 months before I bought it, and 7
months before the monitor came on, so the oil was getting old. But even when
I bought the car at the dealership and was told of the "Oil Life" feature,
those in sales told me "confidentially, we still like the 3 mos. / 3,000
miles rule of thumb ourselves..."
