My 09 VW does the same, but it doesn't tell me when oil is getting low, til it's dangerous low. So I have to check it all the time. So dumb Mad
mine is just "Oil Life" and it gives a percentage. it's one of the screens on the odometer, there's like 4 of them. once it hits 20% Oil Life, it will ding everytime i turn the car on and tell me that it's at 20%, which is when i should think about getting it changed.

if my oil is low for some reason, i believe the oil light will come on.

True story: The oil life monitor calculation in the 2007 Cadillac CTS was so conservative, GM issued a maintenance bulletin to update the motor computer and change it. It seems too many people were going "too long" without changing their oil, and dealerships were losing money because of it.

You need my full and uninterrupted attention, sweetie. You have been neglected for far too long. Comfort

That, and you hadn't commented since I can't remember so I figured you were out having a good time anyway.

Mine just says service in x miles or x time. There's a maintenance schedule that's programmed with the mileage I guess. But sometimes the oil just disappears before its supposed to be changed. It doesn't leak, it doesn't burn, it just goes before it's expected to. Now I know to watch it, but a couple of times I got low oil alerts out of nowhere, and that's BAD!!! Cold

What happened Wiles? Where are you in the books?

I went into my boss's office yesterday afternoon and more or less told him that if he doesn't want to manage us he should promote me and move out of my way. And he basically agreed! Nothing's set in stone yet but he loved the fact that I came in asking for more responsibility and we started planning it out together yesterday and today. Then this morning I went and told him I wanted to check in with everybody about tomorrow (the weather) and he said something like "now you're thinking like a manager." woot

I wonder how much cash I can squeeze out of 'em... Scratchchin

We spent tens of thousands of dollars to have a professional come in and evaluate the department (hundred of people) and suggest what we need to do to change. After months of evaluation she told us all everything that I had put in a presentation to my boss before the professional ever came in. After her presentation I told him I wanted to take the reigns and make it happen. He thanked me. That was 6 months ago, and he's decided to do nothing about my/her suggestions. Sadwalk

The company is exceedingly good at spending money to go nowhere, and now that I have my certification, I'm certainly moving on.
