How many miles were on your SKY when you did your first oil change..?

 

[Rick Tinley Park]

I did mine at 1000 miles -- strickly force of habit... The rest at 20% oil life as recommended

 

[usmc]

did my first one at 1000 also

 

[IslandHopper]

I did mine at 1500 miles.

 

[YellowSky]

2500 and switched to mobil 1 syn

 

[TexSon]

I am waiting to reach 20%, which should be about 9000.

Hmm -- looking at mine --> 7000? Different driving I guess.

I'm at 1500 miles and plan on doing it this weekend. I'm thinking of switching to the Mobile 1. Speed? Green all the way:thumbs: That's why we've nicknamed ours "The Green Hornet"

First change at 1000, than Mobil 1.

 

[SWTSKY]

Me myself and I are gonna change oil whenever I receive my diagnostic results saying it's time to rotate the wheels. So whenever it's time to rotate, it's time to change.:thumbs:

Went to Mobil 1 at 1000 miles.

At 5000 miles now and DIC reads 78%.

 

[SWTSKY]

I also switch to Mobil 1.

At 5000 miles now and DIC reads 78%.

whoa! I must drive a little to hard.

I went to mobil 1 at 1000 miles and my DIC now reads 25% with 7000miles

it dropped 75% in 6000 miles, yours dropped 22% in 4000 miles.

either I need to slow down a bit or you need to romp on that thing once in awhile! :jester: :cheers:

My OnStar e-mail says "Remaining Oil Life: 77%. Next oil change recommended at 11,200 miles." I've only got 2700 miles on it right now!

Interesting posts

So Mobil 1 is the way to go?

It also sounds like we should listen to the DIC and On-Star and forget about the old 3,000 or 5,000 mile rule. Geph says when rotating the tires, but isn't that every 10,000 miles? Aaaannd, DonnaSky is say it's telling her do change in 8,500. I'm so confused

Supposedly the oil life % in your car is calculated from sensors for different things -- in short every person's oil life will be different, based on how they drive (legth, speed - stop & go etc) so the OnStar report as Donna shows says you should change at 20%... For some people that may be 7000 for other 10000.....

:lol: Yeah...probably ought to clean out the carbon...my son always wants to race me. He has the ION 2.4 (same engine as the SKY).
