16,650 miles on bulk oil? That's grounds for a de-friending!
UFB!
If she is cute, offer to change her oil free of charge. Do it with out a shirt on and have her start the car when you are done. She will be impressed by your mechanical prowess.

And you know it had to have been at least a quart low. I don't get it...
Despite our resentment towards extended drains with conventional, the newest GM 3.0L DI engine can go up to 15,000 miles between oil changes under the most ideal conditions.

You are correct but man I could not do it. DI+dino does not = 15k OCI to me!

Nice. Coking comes to mind...
Neither Ohio or Denver are conducive to shirtless oil changes this time of year.
I don't know what the big deal is? I am SURE she is using Amsoil full synthetic.
Every girl runs that oil for 25,000 miles.
Okay, I *SERIOUSLY* doubt it, but is there any chance that she's following the oil life monitor on her car? Even with ideal highway miles I doubt most of them would get to almost 17k miles or more, but I just wanted to play devils advocate and raise the possibility. Similarly, maybe she's burning a quart of oil month and she actually checks and tops up her oil, so perhaps the oil is in better shape then we think (though even in the extreme unlikelihood of that happening, chances are the filter would be screaming for help at this point).
But her comment does show some insight into how she (and a lot of other people) think. Her comment seems to imply that she believes that since nothing noticeable has gone wrong with her car so far, that everything is fine. It doesn't appear that she's considered the fact that she could be damaging her car in such a way that it will cause problems in the future and reduce the overall life of the engine. And what is she expecting, that the car will give some signs that the oil isn't doing its job, at that point she'll take it in for an oil change and everything will be fine with no real damage done?
I wouldn't offer to change her oil regardless of how cute she is. Cause if she thinks everything is fine at over 16k miles on the oil, then she's going to think that YOU screwed it up when something goes wrong after the simple oil change

WOW!! I thought the 9k my customer did on their Camry with PYB was bad. Though I was glad that I had used PYB, and not a weaker dino.
I just changed the oil again in that one at 1500 miles to flush out the bad stuff from the last change, and switched them to PP and 5k OCI.

+2 I would never do it. 10k would keep me awake at night
