yo guys wats going on? ok i got a question .. i have the o4 tl.. wen the computer says <20% does that mean its -20 % do i need an oil change asap.. and what oil and transmision oil is the best for an o4 that is running strong?

means you have less than 20% oil life, not -20%. if you go to 10% and below, service/maintenance light will go on.

i think ours is 5w-20 grade. maybe even 30 grade if you want.

should change it now to be safe...

i usually change it around 5k...i just did mine yesterday...and the light just went on for 20%...when i drained the oil it was dirty...and i use mobile 1...

I wait until the MID says 10%. That's been ~4,500 miles between each change with our normal driving habits.

Recommended per the Owners Manual is 5W-20. Some use 10W-30 or 5W-30. There are posts on the why's if you search; I don't have an informed opinion.

Some use a reputable dino oil, others insist that synthetic is the way to go; Mobil1 is popular as is Royal Purple. Again, lots of opinions most of which won't do any harm.

Check the Owner's Manual for Transimission Fluid type and change schedule. The 3x drain and refill method is recommended.
