10% Oil Change Maint. Minder - How many miles?

Just want to get an idea...

I resetted the trip mileage right after the maintenance minder for oil change went to 50%. I made it to about 570 miles until it reached 40%.

What do you guys get?

It all depends on how you drive your car. I could lose 10-20% of oil life when i track my 07 S2000 on an event. on my 08 TL-S I just reach 90% when my car have 700 miles on it.

run that 08 to 7500 and change the oil then- ok to go synthetic at that point.
Others- the midi should on average give 7000-7500 miles to 0 oil life
thats because the book says change every 7500 miles-
the midi is an idiot light with numbers~
