You're just middle aged around here.Good to know someone on this forum is older than me. There's a Mustang Discord I'm on where most of the folks on there are in their 20's, and I've been nicknamed "Mustang Grandpa".
I'm trying to catch up to you, Turned 59 last September.I started pumping gas at about 10 years old, I just turned 64

Yup, created by Reddit users.You're just middle aged around here.
Mustang Discord? I looked, (not that I'd join) reddit thing?
Been doing it for decades and enough miles to make it to the Sun.I don't care what Ford, BMW or anybody else for that matter, says, I ain't let'n my oil change go to 10k.
Baby, I'm 71.I started pumping gas at about 10 years old, I just turned 64

And your point there 'old man'? (I've want to say that again for a long time)Baby, I'm 71.
Absolutely! Semi-synthetic and a dump truck, 7K at the longest. The Mustang is so pampered. Garaged, no driving in the rain and my DD is a Focus. I used to be partners in a garage many moons ago and got to see the benefits of the syn. oil. When it first came out I thought it was a "snake oil" with the many dire stories of the damage it did, most were bogus, but I found out first hand it would find a marginal gasket and leak(not as bad as ARCO Graphite though). I might have exaggerated a little on the 93 million miles though.And your point there 'old man'? (I've want to say that again for a long time)
Are you cry'n cause of all the money you saved waiting till 10k miles to change your oil?
It's not a bad thing to let it go that long, you have to take care of stuff for it to last, I just have some quirky habbits, and the dump truck did a lot of idling so I had the oil tested at 6-7-8k mile oil changes and found that 7k was the 'sweet' spot, I've used the same brand, weight semi-synthetic for it's entire 600k mile life,
Maintenance, maintenance, maintenance at what ever mileage works, right?
Oh and the distance is almost 93 million miles, that's a lot of oil changes!!
Yes.What do these new cars use to base the % on? Time, mileage, some sort of sensor?
They just flipped a coinYes.
Different manufacturers use different methods, but all of those are in use on various vehicles. There are also cars that monitor your driving and adjust oil life accordingly using an algorithm.
I'm not sure which method Fiat used on the Cherokee.
With Fiat, nothing surprises me.They just flipped a coin
