Oil Life Indicator + Extended Interval Oil
I have yet to find a complete explanation for the "DIC" oil life indicator mechanism within the Solstice, so I'm still curious on its possible accuracy to assist in maintenance.
I believe 5w-30 Mobil 1 has been run in my car, which only has 5800 miles or so, but since the last owner explained the most recent oil change as "synthetic" and the oil life shows 18% (I'm assuming they didn't have the system reset...), I would rather be comfortable and go ahead and swap-in the AMSOIL SSO 0w-30 true synthetic oil I am a dealer for and plan on running.
What can I expect to be the reaction of the system to be for an oil that will easily keep me on the road for 15-20k, although it is recommended for up to 35k miles oil change interval?
