I bring my truck in for oil filter change and week later the computer reads Oil life 0% and Change oil..I bring it in to fix mirror they cant because they cant determine a problem even though i showed them and they said no problem they can fix it. and also has anyone had Service Air Suspension come up on their comp yet?? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

Ok...so was there really no oil in there? Whats the problem with your mirror? Mine stopped folding in (dunno when but they won't fold in anymore when I press the button) and yes I've had the SAS message. Park your truck level, see if it's leaning on either side. My back left is leaning about 5/8". Is this your dealer that you purchased it from? Any others around there?

Maybe the dealer just forgot reset the oil life indicator after they changed the oil? My dealer always resets it for me, but I always check to make sure it's been reset anyway...just a thought about a possible reason for the 0% oil life

On a related note, I still get oil changes about every 3000 miles regardless of what the H2's computer tells me, I think it usually reads somewhere around 70% oil life when I have the oil changed. Any thoughts from some of you experts on this...every 3000 miles or just when the computer says so?

Sorry, I forgot...

MIRRORS: If it's the folding side mirrors that you're having problems with, they can "recycle" them to get them working again, but if you have continued problems, they'll probably have to be replaced. If it's the temperature indicator on the rear view mirror being off by as much as 8 degrees sometimes, my dealer says it would be fruitless to replace it because "they're all like that."

SERVICE AIR SUSPENSION: Mine was not leaning to either side when I had the SAS message. It turned out to be an air compressor failure and the compressor had to be replaced.
