nope, it is a computer calculation that takes into account the temperature, engine loading along with mileage, rpms and everything to decide when to change your oil, it could be as low as 3,000 miles or as high as 12,000....1994SC2 said:

Why so soon? the Owners Manual recommends <20% (or when it tells you)...SkyMan 07 said:
Just wondering. Since we both agree the 3000 mile rule really is overkill -- why change so often?

Got my oil changed at the dealer when I posted those first underside pics of the dual exhaust... Two things I learned then.
1. Their system didn't allow for a "2007 SKY" to be tracked in the service department, so my car became an Ion for a few minutes...
2. They forgot to reset my oil life meter, too! Sooner or later I bet they'll learn that they gotta do that to the SKYs.

Just had the oil changed today. To reset the 'oil life' read out you first turn the key so the control panels light up, scroll down through the read outs to the "oil Life" line, then push the gas pedel down 3 times and hold it. The "oil life" reading will go back to 100%. Just saw the tech do it today.

Had my oil changed today. Kustomkaps is right. Key on, engine off, push gas to the floor 3 times. The instructions in the owners manual also work.

Yes, you press the pedal 3 times. This is inside info that we don't usually tell people. You teckkies are on the ball!

I'll be picking up my car later today. They were working on the issues I posted before mostly trunk related. One item they are replacing is the passenger side door sill because it got bent. They couldn't do it yesterday because they were sent the driver's side one. Aren't they the same just turned around?
The manager aslo said to change the oil every 3,000 miles which goes against the indicator and forum feelings. Maybe he thinks they'll make more changes/money that way. He did recommend the Mobil 1 also. They needed to talk to Saturn tech. about the foam cubes in the trunk and what to do with them. I'll post tonight after I pick it up if there is anything interesting.:thumbs:

Do you think the judge will buy the fact that I was just resetting my oil life indicator?:nono:
