maybe i wasnt clear enough.
at what mileage does your fss prompt you that its time to change the oil. its diff for every car and manual/auto.. i was just curious.

It will also depend on climate and driving style, etc.
My FSS usually kicks in and calls for service at approx 13,000 miles, however, I change my oil and filter myself every 4,500 - 5,000 in between. This schedule undoubtedly extends the FSS schedule.
