How long would you leave Pennzoil Platinum in your engine assuming your vehicle was under manufacture recommended OCI. I ask because my oil life monitor on my 2016 JKU is at 60% after 7 months and 2500 miles on the oil? Daily driven, short trips in the city.

What's a JKU?

The owners manual will spell it out. To comply with warranty here's a summary of what my 2016 JK owners manual says:
Follow the OLM. Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles, twelve months, or 350 hours of run time.
Severe duty all models change oil at 4,000 miles if the vehicle is operated in dusty conditions, off road, or operated predominately at idle or low rpms.
You should be good according to the owners manual. A UOA would insure that.

Interesting that they included a comment on run time in the manual. My Burb has a run time recorder (non resettable).

Yep every 12 months seems good since you might likely be under 5k miles.

I've run PP in my Caravan up to 11,500 KM (7100 miles) with no issues. That was about an 8 month OCI. Had to add about 1/2 a quart in that interval.
Are you doing your own Oil changes? What filter are you using?

It will be serviceable until at the very least until the iOLM states.
Leave it in for the mfr-recommended OCI. Most companies that use an OLM tell you to change it if it doesn't come on after a year, so do that
