#88 of 91 oil life time by ncheng Jul 11, 2008 (5:15 pm)
Hello, I got my new acura 5 months ago, and the oil life just dropped to 30%. The mileage is 3800 miles.. I am planning a trip to LA and San Diego in a couple weeks. Should I change the oil before or after the trip.. I am in SF bay area.. Replies to this message: nj2pa2nc (Jul 12, 2008 3:16 am)

Replying to: ncheng (Jul 11, 2008 5:15 pm) When the oil life reaches 15% it will show service due soon and a code of what service is to be done. Since your car is new it will show a-1 (oil change) At 5% it will show service due now and when it goes below 0% it will begin showing miles past due. With the driving I do (mostly highway) I average at least 600 miles per 10% oil life. I do not know how many miles you will have before you go on this trip but I would wait until it gets to at least 15% to 5% oil life. I travel alot-especially from NC to NJ and back. (635 miles one way) When I left NC last Tuesday for NJ the oil life was at 30%. It is now at 20% ready to go to 15% in about 50 more miles. I plan to wait until I get back to NC to get the oil changed (oil life should be at 5%). I do check the oil level and tire pressure on a regular basis. My 06, bought new 11/17/06, has 55,000+ problem free miles. Many miles of safe driving to you

Replying to: treezilla (Oct 16, 2008 4:21 pm) Well, it's in the book, on page 283. If you've customized the display any (per pages 69-118), the directions will be easier to follow because you should be used to how they use the two buttons (info & sel/reset) to do stuff.   If not, you can still get it done, but it may take a few tries -- you're not going to hurt anything, so don't worry if it doesn't go well the first time.   Good luck.
