DIC oil life system?
as this is my first bonnie with a oil life system i was wondering.....

I never let mine get below 25 %, however, last time I flashed the bios in the PCM I got a DIC message that said "CHANGE OIL NOW!". So eventually it will yell at you

I wonder when the DIC begins to flash. When I first got my Bonne it was at 6% and flashing. Needless to say I changed the oil right away. Still, I wonder when it is supposed to come on...

Thanks.... I should've looked it up.
Just a general question to any here. Is 10% too low, or should it be changed before then.
Also, since I use Mobile one synthetic, can I rely on that indicator or will it(oil) last longer?
Thanks!
