2nd oil change already? My TL has 5113 miles and 8 months old. It hasn't come up with the first oil change reminder yet. I think you need to have a visit to your local dealer.

it means you are driving to hard & aggressive, as well as a lot of city driving.

i had about 6k (3 months) when i was prompted for my first oil change

I'm at 6300 miles and 9 months and have not gotten a notification for any service yet. Oil life is still at 30%.

Correct.

The oil life monitor observes how you drive. it takes in account of revs(if you like to hit vtec), some how it knows about city driving, and I think start ups.

if your commute is all highway, you'll might go 7-10k before an oil change.

I drive city and am fairly aggressive hitting vtec often. about 5k to 6k is when my oil monitor nags at me.
