I'm going into Alrington as well. $129 seems high since I will be bring in my own oil. I can't believe that I take care of the car this much and I am already at my first service.

See page 195 in the owners manual.

Seems like the Oil Life in the MID is dynamic to me, especially since everyone is reporting different oil life % with different amounts of mileage.

I've got <20% for second change at 8700 miles (10.5 months old). First change performed at 3800 (between 20-30% remaining) so I'm doing pretty good.

My driving is mostly city with some highway.
