Don't know which forum to put this one in.
My cousin recently visited me with her new (5 months old GMC SUV (Yukon), which now has 16,000 miles on it. The oil life monitor indicated "0% life" while we were driving to dinner.
Question. Anyone have any experience with these monitors, and how accurate they are? What would the danger be of driving with the oil life below, say 25%, 10% etc?
She wanted to wait until the next day to get the oil changed, in her city (approximately 70 miles away). I have no experience with these systems.
What would adding a little Lube Control do under such conditions? Anything? Can Lube Control be used in vehicles with oil life monitors, and does it interfere with the monitors readings. Would one of these vehicles be able to run the oil longer IF Lube Control was used from the beginning of the oil change cycle? Would adding LC once the oil life monitor read "0" change the reading?
Thanks in advance.
