do you guys know if the MID would adjust to the synthetic oil, or no? or is my oil life REALLY at 80% after only 1300 miles?
your input is greatly appreciated!
The oil life reading seems to be mileage based. Some people say its based on engine revolutions. I don't think the MID knows what kind of oil is in there.
