Morning guys, Question! What type of oil should I use in the car? 53k. Any suggestions besides what it normally takes? (95 SLS) Thanks hope everyone has a great day.
One more question i was checking my information center in the car and it says that the oil life is at 12%. I had the oil changed about 1500 miles ago at 52,768 the mileage is now at 54,400. but yet it again it only says 13% life left... I would think it would at least last 2500 miles before another change?

Usually you use one of 2 methods to reset the oil life indicator.......
Press the accelerator 3 times with the ignition in the on position (engine not running).........
Or
Scrolling through the DTC and reset it using the button on the dash....... Press and hold.........
Change interval is more important than oil type....... Dont think by using synthetic you can go 7k........ I would start using synthetic, it will keep sludge and varnish deposits to a minimum.......

Pressing the accelerator three times with the ignition in the on position did not reset the Oil Life Indicator. It still says Change Engine Oil now and Oil Life Zero.
Im pretty sure "DTC" is the information center, find the setting where it tells you how much oil life left (for my car i hit the information button) then when you come to it push and hold the reset button.
I have a grey 1996 Seville STS. I now have eight fresh quarts of Mobil 1 and a Mobil 1 filter on the beast.
The Oil life indicator also indicates 100% just like it should. Thanks for your help. It was all in the small Info Reset button. The large INFO button was not used in this proceedure.
