Default Oil change light: Based on miles or viscosity?
I'm relatively sure it's a simple odometer based warning but was curious if anyone knew for sure. I did an oil change 5k miles ago and the light is on again. I use synthetic oil so there's no reason to change it again at 5k miles so I plan to reset the check light and change it at the second one. Otherwise, I'm spending a LOT of money on longer lasting synthetic oil for nothing.
