New guy from Jersey!!!!

Just wanted to say HI to everyone I live in North Bergen County of New Jersey,I have a Dark Red 2006 2LT it has approx 77,000 miles and I just love it so far, I have had it about 1 year. I do have my first question, my oil life gauge reads 65% life left, but it has 3,000 miles on the last oil change,how many miles does it go before it gets to 0? and yes I did reset it @ the last oil change.

to the forum Bob!

As for the oil change question, I'm a "trainee geezer" so its always changed at 3,000 miles, the oil life indicator never factors in.

I'm not from Jersey but I do change mine at 5000, when you see how nasty it looks, you wont run it longer either.
