I have 2015 Odyssey with around 30,000 miles on it.
I recently moved further away from work hence my daily commute usage for this vehicle is around 90 miles per day, 6 days a week. (~550 miles per week)
Out of 90 miles, 60 miles are straight up highway miles, and 30 miles is driving within Brooklyn New York City so it's somewhat frequent stop and go.
I always do my oil change at my local Honda dealers; I believe they use 0W-20, and they said it should last 5000 miles before next oil change.
Now, problem is, my engine oil indicator on my dash is going down very fast. Around 2500 miles driven, it's already down to 20~30%!
I called the dealer and they said the reader must not been reset so I brought back to them to reset it. But every time I do oil change there, SAME THING happens! And they DO reset my reader afterward.
The dealer claims that my reader 'detects' my driving style (daily 60 miles high way and 30miles of city) it automatically adjust its %.
Does that mean I have to go with what the reader says and do my oil change every 2800~3000 miles? or is there some thing wrong with my reader; should I just ignore it and just do oil change at every 5000 miles?
I don't want to damage my car engine by doing oil change past its normal usage, at the same time, I don't want to keep spend extra money for no reason.
Can someone give me a hand?
