Oil change after 2000 miles?!?

[ro4drunn3r]

Hello all,

i changed my oil ~2000 miles ago and my oil life is at 8%. Is it really necessary to change the oil after 2000 miles? I know it depends on how u are drive etc....
Oil looks good, not really dark. So, what do u think?

(it's an 92' Sedan DeVille with 117.000miles on it)

Best Regards

You do not have to change your oil after 2000 miles, when the oil was changed last time was the oil life indicator reset?.

Hmmm... oil change was made by my cadillac dealer...( don't know why i wrote "i changed" ) sorry, can't say what kind of oil.
I guess i drive like a grandpa.... 10 miles every day to work.... no high rpm.... so far

Yes it was.

I could understand this if you drove 2 blocks in winter and shut down. 10 miles should be enough to heat it up and you should certainly get more than 2000 miles. I would suspect it was not reset. I'd reset it again and watch it to see how fast it decrements. If it seems normal, then change it at 75%.

New 92 Deville owner here, where does it show the oil life and how do i get it to display?

Funny, I had a '92 Deville, but can't remember how to display it. Have you read the owners manual?

Press "range" and "fuel used" on the fuel data center to see the oil life reading.

If you press and hold "range" and "reset" it will set back to 100%.
