Yes, Oil Life is the "estimated" life of your oil between changes to give you an esimated idea when to change. I say estimated as your actual oil life and changing will depend on your driving and conditions, i.e. mine is a garage queen and I have 4,000 miles in nearly 3 years of owning it and the Oil Life has never dipped below 90% due to I change it every 5 months or so and reset it.

Sounds like a good deal, I would be in there every month to get an oil change if they were free .

Jeez, doesn't anybody read their owner's manual anymore? You can even download it to your iPad these days.

You should check your oil every time you put gas in it, period. Plus, the OEM-specified 8qts is too much oil for the V8 engines. 7qts (right on the add line) is where you want to keep it if you run your car hard. Why? Oil aerates at high RPM with 8qts in the crank case.

I agree but I run with 7.5 quarts. I've notice this to help with the lifter tick as well. Sent from my AGM, 2SS/RS |

My SS takes a little over 8 quarts to be right at full.

Yessir, that is correct. OEMs typically over-spec the oil capacity on purpose. Suzie Q. Housewife and Johnny Q. Public typically do a poor job of keeping tabs on their oil level. OE doesn't want to deal with the headache.
