Resetting oil life reading

[HummerGirl]

yep I agree with your posting. Had mine changed on Tuesday at 5700 miles on it and the guy said it looked fine and was not "dirty" or dark in color. He said I was right on time getting it to them but was not in "dire straights" yet.

Also, the guy told me not to use a synthetic oil until I reach 10K miles. He stated that on a new vehicle you want everything to be nice and oiled (broken in) before switching over to synthetic.
He said this was the recommendations they were taught. Makes sense.


I actually new a girl who never changed the oil in her Toyota in the '80s. She drove it all through high school without one single change. Can you believe that? She came from a single family with no male influence. Scarey.
