Finally reached 10k mile

Got my 2020 RLX SH at the end of 2019. Through the pandemic and all (that's almost 2 years), it finally reached the 10k milestone

Congratulations on the milestone. Looking at the enviable 81 degree temperature in your MID, maybe a celebratory drive to the beach is in order?

Here's wishing you many, many more trouble-free, smile-inducing miles.

10K down and 190k to go!

I'm just +18k on my 18 RLX hybrid because of lockdown. I double-check my M.I.D. and my oil life is at 60% and my last oil change was Dec 2020.

10K is far away goal for me. Barely broke 7100 miles on my 2020 RLX (previous owner put in 4100 miles). At the rate I'm driving, I'll probably get there in 2024.

A good milestone!
I am barely making a dent: drove my RLX about 1000 miles to bring it back to IL from TX, and then about 2700 miles since I got it in June of this year (total of 3700) lol

I need to swap RLX's with you every 6 months or so to even out our miles! I am at 41k on my '20.

Congrats! Get out there and drive! I’m on call this weekend and I’ve put almost 100 miles on my RLX already just today, driving between hospitals and other errands.

Similar story here. Wife got her '18 RLX SH in April 2019 as a CPO (had only 1200 miles on it). Today, about 30 months after taking deliver, she's just getting ready to hit 12K miles. Slow and steady.

In my case, I got a new '19 MDX Advance in Aug 2019, and today it's just shy of 11k miles. I figure at the end of the lease in Aug 2022 it'll have probably 16-17k miles. I'm buying the lease out at the end....

Looks like you reach the 1 year time limit instead of the 15% M.I.D. notification for oil changes for both vehicles. Do you change your oil yearly or just wait for the M.I.D. 15% notification? Do you also reset the oil life % if you change your oil after one year if the oil is between 100%-20%? I'm going to change my oil at 60% life after 13 months in my RLX. I was thinking about changing the oil and leaving the oil life % alone so I don't reset any 1-6 services due (I can't see those services until the 15% notification).

I do the 1-year interval change now on both the RLX and MDX, and reset the oil life each time. It's entertaining to see how fast the percentage drops depending on the driving. I can say that the hybrid drops much slower (about 1/2 the rate of the non-hybrid MDX) likly due to the hybrid operation about 1/2 of the time (at least for my driving). So far it seems to hit about 50 percent in the MDX when the year mark hits, and about 70-80 percent on the RLX SH.....
