Oil Life and Oil Life Start Value

The oil life is displayed in percentages and is preset to a maximum of approximately 12,070 km (7,500 miles) or 180 days (non-hybrid) or 16,093 km (10,000 miles) or 12 months (hybrid). The oil life start value is used to increase or decrease the starting point of the oil life. The value can be changed back to the maximum of approximately 12,070 km (7,500 miles) (non-hybrid) or 16,093 km (10,000 miles) (hybrid) if the value was previously changed or to lower the value by 10% increments down to 10%. Each 10% reduction lowers the oil life in both mileage and the days.

For example, if the oil life start value is lowered to 50%, the maximum mileage is 6,035 km (3,750 miles) or 90 days (non-hybrid) or 8,047 km (5,000 miles) or 12 months (hybrid). The oil life remains at the selected setting (50% in this example) until the driver changes the oil life start value. When the oil life (not oil life start value) is reset back to 100% following an oil change, the oil life resets to 6,035 km (3,750 miles) (non-hybrid) or 8,047 km (5,000 miles) (hybrid).
