Alllllll I'm gonna say is this....
They spend years and millions developing the OLM system to help ensure the longevity of their engines, and reduce wasted oil/money. Don't fool yourself into believing it's a useless gimmick they put in there to "catch up with the Joneses"...It's one of the best systems out there, using a massive amount of real-time data to calculate oil deterioration.
Each vehicle has it's own unique OLMS algorithm that is tailored to that vehicles' characteristics. As long as you use the type oil that came from the factory (synthetic vs non, 5w30 v 10w30 or something)...it will be accurate, and reliable.
I find nothing wrong with keeping the old traditions in your back pocket...just don't pretend the OLMS isn't a great way to keep track of your car's vitals.
