My oil life meter is at 40% and I have about 3,500 miles on my car. I'm not going to change the oil until it hits 15%.
Edit: After I wrote that I had to go out and check again because I wasn't sure if that was correct. It's actually at 30%, not 40%. My girlfriend asked me where I was going and I said "to check out the oil life meter in my car." She looked at me like I had a screw loose. LOL!

Womp Womp Waaaaaoooomp. - I haven't changed the oil on the SI yet, just all my previous cars. Is it a pain?chrisfrofro said:i did my 2nd at 8000 miles.. anyone change their own?? if so, how do you like the placement of that oil filter? :thumb:
If its the same place as the RSX-S... its not so much a pain to get to but more a pain to not make a huge oil mess...-Sylver- said:Womp Womp Waaaaaoooomp. - I haven't changed the oil on the SI yet, just all my previous cars. Is it a pain?
