I'm at 20,000 miles and had the last service at 10,000 so I m due but oil life is at 46%. I assume I should take it in or wait till the oil life says to?

Aperantly not. I m 10000 miles and 11 months into this oil. I know some newer technology cars have sensors that measure oil quality. Maybe viscosity. Not sure but mileage or months don't seem to fit.You've done 10000 miles but your oil meter is telling you at 46%? I thought the meter just counts down either 12 months or 10000 miles whichever comes first.
Since I never do 10000 miles in the Mustang I just change it once a year.
The oil life monitor looks at mileage, time, number of start cycles, how long at operating temp and likely other things.You've done 10000 miles but your oil meter is telling you at 46%? I thought the meter just counts down either 12 months or 10000 miles whichever comes first.

That's not right, 11 months and 10000 miles should say close to 0%. Did you reset the oil life monitor halfway?Aperantly not. I m 10000 miles and 11 months into this oil.

I did change my oil today. I d rather play it safe.
I wouldn't trust the 46% . Take it in now. And get future oil changes done at 5000-7500 miles. Probably 5000 miles for FI engines and NA engines driven in a "spirited" manner. Or one year.
