When I first purchased my Acura back in February, the oil life monitor was at 70%. Less than 1000 miles on whatever oil he used -- "im sure it was bulk oil from some Jiffy Lube with the pronto base filter"; it was down to 10%. I changed the oil using Pennzoil Ultra PP & a Fram Ultra. Five thousand miles later the OLM is at 30%? Im thinking he just reset it not long before I purchased it without changing the oil? Oil on dipstick is like a carmel color, not dark brown or black. Next run is gonna be Pennzoil Platinum PP 0W20 & another run on the Fram Ultra. Im hoping this current batch thats in gets me to 7500miles. Its getting changed at that point no matter what anyways. Have a good weekend!! Ken
