Is it safe?
The 'Service A Due Soon' reminder came up on the MID a few days back (Oil Life <15%), so my mom made the apointment for tomorrow. Sudden changes caused to postpone the service until later this week but now the oil life <10%. It leaves me able to drive the car tomorrow to school, Is it safe to drive the car still or should I just leave the car alone until its service apointment?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I've done that a couple of times. Yes, it goes from "service due soon, oil life <20%", to "<15%", "<10%", I think it showed "<5%" as well and then ended up showing "service due now", at which point I took it for an oil change. I drove for approximately 1000 miles from "<20%" to the "service due now" message.
