In fact you could fill the truck with 5 QTs of pure MMO and run it for 2500 miles and the OLM would show 60%, thats if the truck made it 2500 miles on pure MMO.
Isn't that a little over the top? You could put water in it, reset the system and it wouldn't know any better. The manufacturers clearly call for certain spec. oils to be used with their vehicles. That is what the olm's are calibrated for. Not Cod Liver Oil.
