[QUOTE="rpf500, post: 561370, member: 6870"] I've googled this and I understand it, but I'm curious what you guys do. I've always been a person who changes oil at 3k miles. Maybe 3500. Regular, not synthetic. Anyway, my wife drives a lot for work. I change oil every 4 to 6 weeks. Somehow we got on the topic of mileage vs what the oil life monitors say in our vehicles and it got me thinking. How accurate are they, and am I wasting money? So, my 2006 Tahoe shows approximately 50% oil life at 3000 miles. Her Acadia showed 61% when I changed oil Sunday. People online are reporting following the monitors until around 10% which was anywhere between 7k up to like 12k. And some mentioned still owning that vehicle 100K miles later. So, what do you guys say? Am I old school and oil changes at 3k miles a thing of the past with new technology in oil and vehicle manufacturers? [/QUOTE]
