Oldschool, I Read The Comment You Refer To A Little Differently Than You.
“Nothing to wear out. About the only thing it cannot account for is driving in dusty conditions. Idling, towing, short trips, highway, WOT for long distances …it sees it all and factors it accordingly.”
I took it to mean that driving in dusty conditions is about the only thing that isn’t accounted for in the author’s opinion. I am inclined to believe that towing, short trips, and WOT for long distances are factored in by the device in his opinion.
Since I’m a 5,000 mile interval guy (normal conditions) I am listening and learning. My next car will very probably have one of these monitors. I am a little set in my ways and have to digest all this stuff long before I can change.
I value the opinions of OK4450, Gary (geeaea), Wha Who, and you Oldschool.
I agree with Wha Who also and believe that these systems must have some merit. I think Gary’s comment about “contouring” the change interval to whatever you feel comfortable with could be a decent compromise for some consumers.
