Oil Change Light Indicator
 

Alright, I didn't really see any threads about this question.

So, I bought my Z about 2,600 ago from a dealership. They said that they just changed the oil and such.

However, this morning the Oil Light Warning came on to my display (so stating that I needed an oil change).

Question is: does this light come on every 2-3000 miles NO MATTER WHAT. Or does it come on when the oil is starting to get dirty??? Or maybe comes on when the oil gets low (i checked and it seems filled up enough)

I usually put synthetic in and change it every 4-6000 miles.

Thoughts please???

It's a simple counter that reminds you based on the settings. You can get to it via the "computer" in the leftmost gauge.


In the manual:

MAINTENANCE:
The maintenance intervals of the following items
can be set or reset for the reminders.
. OIL
Select this submenu to set or reset the
distance for changing the engine oil.

Correct answer.

If you bought the car used you should change all fluids yourself (or pay to have it done) unless you really trust the seller.

All good responses. I HAVE AN ANSWER.

I played around with the maintence indictor within the computer system and found that the previous owner had it set for every 3,500 miles. So, its been that time since the last oil change from the owner (however, I know the dealer did it when I bought the car a 2500 miles ago). Hence the alarm going off. I reset it and the Z is currently across the street at AAA for an oil change. BTW I stuck with conventional.

Thanks you were right!!!
