2010 Cadillac CTS V6, 36,600 miles. 13 months and 870 miles since last oil change at dealer with full synthetic Dexos. OLM says 92% left. I usually drive it long enough to warm up oil--few, if any, short trips in four-season midwest. Going on a 3,000 mile road trip. Would like to wait until I return to get oil changed. Recommendations? Thanks.
 
I'm in the same situation. I'll wait to change oil at 24 months rather than my usual 12 months. It's very good that you drive your car long enough to thoroughly warm up the oil. You'll be fine.
 
Of course, my wife doesn't like when I ask her to comply with the "no short drives" policy. I don't understand why she can't walk to the store when it's zero degrees and a blizzard.
