OP: Talk to your service manager and get his advice. FYI: I am also running synthetic in mine because it does make a difference and it has a longer lifespan than conventional.
The OP was talking about waiting for the Oil Life to go to the danger zone before changing his oil... and he thinks thats waiting too long. So i told him to use the odometer as his guide, not the oil life.

O_o. Cuz for me, when I had to change my oil at 1500 miles, my oil life was at 90%. Based on the way I was driving, i could have gone till 5000 miles till i was at 50% but thats way past break in point. Blah, dont know what im saying now o_o
