Hey! I've got an idea. Do what makes you comfortable. No explanation of why needed.
The reason this thread is currently sitting at 24 pages is that every time it moves back to the top, members repost what they have already posted several times before.

especially the moderators!
Lol!
We have beat this dead horse to a pulp!
I agree but then every 2-3 weeks a new poster comes on and asks about oil change intervals. Rather than those posters reading the thread history it gets repeated because its quicker.
I actually learned a lot about oil life and oil analysis from this thread.

...which oil is real PAO group IV base stock whatever that nobody but a chemist actually knows about.
I am a chemist and all I have to add is Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? What is PAO group IV base stock???
Ok, here is a new twist. My new employer leases vehicles for 3 years. Mine happens to be a 2016 Explorer. And they do all of their own maintenance with in house mechanics in our shop. Oil changes are every 8,000 miles. Should be OK with my Explorer because right now the IOLM is telling me I can go 10,400. I'll have to keep an eye on it and see what it actually says when it hits 8,000.

The owner is calculating the mileage by using the % left and the miles driven, it does not show miles left.
This is a VERY tired thread.
