The car knows. Trust the car.

My Uncle's last car was a turbo diesel Benz that had its own Maintenance Minder on it. Diesels are notorious for being tough on oil. The MM pinged him to change the oil about every 8K depending on how hard it was being driven. He traded it in last Spring with 198,000 mile on the odometer. Never a problem.

My Si sedan has 1700 miles and the MM says I'm at 80%. I'll trust it to do its job.
