Not as commonly understood. It's nothing more than a simple distance-based reminder, the electronic equivalent of mileage reminders that have been around since at least the 1970's.
I agree, it's just a mileage timer.
I like my 2014 Mazda 3. I have the option to set a mileage based reminder or have the computer actually calculate oil life based on driving conditions. I don't understand why all cars down have this in 2017. Person a can go 10k if he does highway driving. A short tripping mom, taking kids to and from school, idling here, there, EVERYWHERE, needs a shorter OCI even on the same car.
