Im surprised no one read this in their owners manual, there is a lot of good info in there.

Not quite sure what you are talking about when you say incorrect... I said "normal driving" - i.e. not Schedule 1 or Schedule A where you stop and start a lot without getting the engine temps up. It has nothing to do with the amount of stop signs or stop lights or traffic; it's exclusively for people who stop and start the car a lot without letting it reach normal operating temperature (like a courier or delivery driver or something). I can sit in traffic for 10 minutes and reach 200F+
Normal driving is Schedule 2 or Schedule B (depending on the owner's manual). Also, my owner's manual (which I have read) says 7500 oci for that schedule, not 7000
