If an oil change costs you $50. That's $0.05/mile. $25 would be half that obviously. $5000 in 100,000 miles, that's like paying for two extended warranties, and still not having a warranty? I suppose I need to factor in standard 5000 mile oil change intervals (some go more but its easy math). That's $1000 in 100,000 miles. So an extra 4k in 100k miles. Still about the value of two extended warranties. How many miles a year do you run?

That's why I stopped doing it myself and started paying the dealer to do it, and I don't have to worry about the old oil. I think it's worth the extra 25-30 a year to avoid the PITA! Of course you have to hope the guy doing it knows what he's doing which can be a crapshoot.

Intelligent oil monitor question
I am new to ford trucks, got a 2019 f150 diesel , I do mostly short drives , about 9 miles each way, got the truck in July and the monitor went from to 100% to 8% in 2700 miles , I changed the oil but I think it is a very short interval, I was ok just because I believe the first Oil change sooner than later to catch the metal shavings and debris from a new engine. But I was expecting the oil indicator north of 5-7k miles .
appreciate input
