I took pictures of my trip meter and oil life percentage at two different times and found I have oil gaining life with use!
On August 4th I had 5,627.7 miles on the oil with 43% oil life remaining.
On August 25th, I had 6,200.2 miles on the oil with 38% oil life remaining.
I “gained” this oil life after returning from a 482-mile trip that was 99.9% highway driving. It would be interesting to learn how these OLM algorithms calculate life.
On August 4th I had 5,627.7 miles on the oil with 43% oil life remaining.
5627.7 / (1-.43) = 9,873 mile projected oil life
On August 25th, I had 6,200.2 miles on the oil with 38% oil life remaining.
6200.2 / (1-.38) = 10,000 projected oil life. A gain of 127 miles of life!
