It comes on at 3000 miles I believe not smart like GM oil sensor is. It simply comes on when the vehicle hits certain mileage. As I have posted before I have been changing at 10000 and my dad has been doing the same with amsoil and distance filter which get pretty nasty by the end of it.

so you don't go the full 25K with the amsoil oil and filter?

I don't for two reasons I usually only buy the XL line instead of the signature since I live in MN and there is now way I would go 25000 with the crazy weather that has my oil heat from down to -40F then back down and up and down every single day and I drive a mile to work the very worst for oil. I have used signature but since I know I won't push it that long I just get XL and change before I get to 10k. I started using XL once they started making a 0W-20 in XL.

Same here i got the manual and the dvd.... I hadnt really thought about it much but now that i think of it i have about 900 miles on my 2013 and it says like 90 something percent still.... Shouldnt it be more like 70 percent if the oil change was set to 3000 miles

Mine decided to go off at 3500 miles...i'm just gonna go by the book. It's easier that way.
