Default Re: Frequency of OIL CHANGES

Any tips on how to keep the tracker at 7000 (or more)?
How do you figure that one??? It starts at 7,000. You've driven 1000 and the counter has only decreased by 800....leaving you 6200 more miles before you change oil. You are above 7000 already. If you drive it harder, faster, longer - then you will be up around 9000 or better before an oil change is due.
