ok that works..lol. now what is the preset for this? 3000 miles? if it is, then i have a problem. when i bought the car the previous owner used mobil 1 oil so i wanted to keep the same oil in. i added the mobil 1 clean 5000 oil to it (which btw, runs very cool). so is there a way to set the mileage interval or is that preset and cannot be changed? thanks.

Think it is preset. Not 100%, though. [8D]

I change the oil in my '92 with Mobile 1 Extended Life at every 3000k.

Come on man, you got a vette. Change the oil every 3000. Is it better to be safe, or sorry? I change my oil once a year and only put about 1800 miles on a year.
