Bigmoe Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Okay so someone explain this oil change monitor for me. I have a basic understanding of how it works but what are the % settings for? Why would I want it set to 30%, 40% etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 For newer Ford's, 100% means 1 year or 10,000 mile oil change interval, so if you wanted to change the interval to 6 months or 5,000 miles you'd set the life to 50%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Exactly. Only use less than 100% if you want to shorten the interval or if you forgot to reset it when the oil was changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmoe Posted April 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 We got the dealer to change the oil in February. The sticker they put on says change in August or 5000km (3000miles) . And its' Mobil 1 synthetic. The change oil light soon came on last week so I assume that they never reset it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Of course not. 3K miles is a joke with regular oil now, much less synthetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
