We have a 19 Bullitt Mustang. The car currently has about 5,600 miles. We did the initial oil change at 2,000 miles. At about 5.2K miles the oil life monitor popped up messages at startup that the oil needed changed. This would be 3.3K of oil life. I thought that that seemed too soon, especially for a car that takes 10 quarts of oil. But I did not ignore the warning, and changed the oil and filter at about 5.5K for its 2nd change. So I am deciding to keep an eye on this oil life monitor after every drive. So after a complete oil and filter change I drove the car 63 miles and then checked the oil life monitor and it said the oil life was now at 91%. 91% after 63 miles??? 9% drop in this mileage is crazy. So is anyone else having this issue that you are getting crazy readings from this oil life system. I guess it is supposed to be intelligent. Does that mean that the oil life could drop if I do not drive the car daily, which at this point in the year the car is parked a lot until next spring?
I did do the oil changes myself and reset the OLM myself each time. Is there some magic that Ford would do during an oil change to allow this system to extend the OLM range??? I would think that getting 6,000 miles between oil changes would be reasonable.
Am curious if any other 19 or 20 Mustang owners have had this issue.
