I gotta say, it worries me not to change oil every 3k miles...but if the engineers/developers say to listen to the car I'm gonna listen...and worry :fingerscrossed:

Yesterday it was 18,660 miles with the last oil change at 12,400 and it said 37% remaining. Lots of stop and go, lots of rural HWY. Weather is Michigan, so it's been a bit hot, wet, and now it's starting to dip into the 30's at night. (All temps in F)

1. 37%
2. Approx 2
2. Built 12/9/18 or 1/9/19 delivery 2/4/19
3. 6,200 miles.
4. very little on this change, overall 2000+ miles of towing on the engine
5. We've had 2 frosts in the past three weeks, weather has been holding between 40 and 60F during the day.

Best indication from articles Ford's IOLM is purely computer driven, estimating operating conditions along with time and miles to estimate oil condition.

2.0 4 Months, did a 1k fluid replacement to check for metal.
2.1 Build November 15, 2018, purchased April 26, 2019
3.0 4600 since last change
4.0 Short >20mile hauls, not often
5.0 This is Montana, it can snow in July...but yes, couple months of below freezing temps

***Sending in a sample here before my next oil change to see how the combination of drag racing, towing, regular driving is effecting the oil.

2.0 I have not changed the oil yet, I purchased in 11/19.
2.1 12/18
3.0 1526mi
4.0 No
5.0 Yes

I wanted to submit my numbers because mine seem a little odd. Since mine sat on the lot for almost a year - I believe the dealer idled the car to keep the battery charged and engine run time might be a factor for the low percentage.

CURRENT
1) 27% (second go around)
2) 8/30/19 (5 months as of this writing)
3) 7268 miles (currently sitting at 17,049 total)
4) Not much towing or hauling on this batch, plenty on the previous batch
5) 3.5 of the 5 months have been below freezing

FIRST
1) 3% (or thereabouts, I don't remember exactly)
2) 5/24/19 (DOP) (build date unknown)
3) 9781 miles
4) A lot of towing and hauling
5) No temperatures below freezing

Per the app, based on my current driving patterns my next scheduled oil change is 3/7/2020. Probably end up being a little before then since we have a couple longer trips planned over the next month.

No issues with my oil or engine performance by sticking to the vehicle/app recommended schedule.

It's just looking at the fact you've gone past 1 year....
