mikeecsedy 0 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 This morning on the way to work the Code 82 Change Engine Oil Soon message came on. I have an appointment for a regular maintenance service including oil change in 2 1/2 weeks, and I'll probably put 500 miles on my car before then. Do I need to move my maintenance appointment up?

Greg_E 211 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 My personal limit is now at 25% life left, the change in running condition was very noticeable and with 25% left I still went more than 6000 miles so I think I can live with changing it that often and paying the dealer to change it so that there can be no engine warranty issues. For your condition, I suggest checking the oil level and if it is low, add some nice fresh oil, this will help with the old thinner oil by putting a limited amount of fresh additives in the system.
