Oil Life Monitor Accuracy
When I bought my FEH in April, the oil life monitor stated there was 74% left. THe car had 21 miles on it. I'm guessing the truck sat a while before I came along, which might explain why I was able to get such a good deal. Now, with 3450 miles on it it says 58% left.
Now, I am generally not as good at math as computers are, but doesn't this seem a little bit off? If I'm supposed to get 10,000 miles or 12 months, shouldn't I still be in the mid-sixties range? Or does the first fill up of oil run out a bit faster as the engine gets broken in and the engine gets "seasoned?"
