tasman Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 I have 2013 Journey v6. it is 11 months old and has 7,700 miles on it. I do mostly expressway driving, very little stop and go. The system has not yet advised me that I should change the oil. The manual says the system will prompt me depending on driving condotions etc. Could be as soon as 3500 miles., under no circumstances should mileage exceed 10,000. Should I be worried? Any others have a similar circumstance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journey_SeXT Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) under no circumstances should mileage exceed 10,000. You just answered your own question. If you do not feel comfortable waiting that long for an oil change then change it now. It probably has not come on yet because it detects that you are doing a lot of highway driving as opposed to city driving (stop & go) where the oil will take more of a beating.

Any others have a similar circumstance? No you should not be worried. Just follow the guidelines as it states under no circumstances should the oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles or twelve months, whichever comes first.

Lobitz68 Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Agreed. This topic is all over the site. Do as you choose, but following the 12 month or 10k miles recommendation or oil light will not affect your warranty. Some change it sooner because they like wasting money or are stuck in their ways, but there is no harm in waiting for the light. I would check your oil level at least twice a month though... jkeaton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Agreed with Lobitz, plenty of existing threads on the subject. This thread is now locked. Change the oil how ever often you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
