I messed up the last poll... hopefully this will be more useful

Please post the miles driven between when the maintenance minder was reset and it got to 15% oil life. Thanks

 

mine just popped on 2 days ago and i have 4780 miles on my car.

 

idk i just change the oil every 2-3k miles i like to keep the oil clean as possible. i hate it when its REALLY black!

 

not a clue. oil change around 5k n call it good.

 

I'm hoping to get a large sample of voters on this poll. I'm really curious to see the spread in the responses.

 

Keep the data coming in!

Its interesting to see the curve

 

i jux change mines every 5k and thats where the light comes on too bout 10-15%... but i use full syntactic oil tho... ~dsk

 

its kinda wierd tho when i drive like 2k=90%, 2.5k=80%. IDK imma change the oil in a day or so

 

i have 7500 miles on my ge8 and the minder is only at 40%... is this normal?

 

I just rolled 6000k on mine and I am at 60% (might be 50%, have to check again.) I drive easy on it and just took a 2700 mile highway trip.

 

Maybe it DOES do some sensing or something? IDK - Mine was at 20% with 9700 on it.

I know all my miles (95%) are all highway, so I am assuming that has something to do with it. We might need a poll with mile/city/highway options to get a good read on this.

 

The poll is showing over 47% of people see 15% on the maintenance minder light between 4 and 6,000 miles.

 

I'm curious what
90%
80%
70%
60%
50% (or whatever Honda uses) corresponds to in miles for your car.

 

I can't take the poll, yet. I have a 2010 Fit Sport Auto that at about 5800 miles it clicked over to 50%. These are mostly highway miles at 70 mph or less.

 

Mine typically pops every 10% (i.e. 100%, 90%,80% and so on) around every 1000 miles (give or take 50 miles).

This last winter, mine went to 15% at around 8000 miles (again give or take 50 miles as I forgot the exact mileage).

 

change at 50% drive thru heavy traffik 3 out of 5 days. CHECK YOUR DIPSTICK. if its dirty change your oil. simple as that.

 

My 09 Fit Sport is at 8,000 mi and the oil life is still at 40%. When I purchased it back in March the owner before me made it to 12,500 before the 15% reminder. Oil change intervals are the biggest scam out there. I've always done what the manuals say with every car I've had and have been fine. To each their own but I'm not needlessly wasting money myself.
