Oct 07, 2014The technology has changed quite a bit. Modern OLMs now monitor several environmental variables and engine parameters like temperatures and engine load. In essence, it knows when you're towing and begins to penalizes the service interval. Edmunds did a test comparing the OLM to the results of an actual oil analysis. They showed that the OLMs tended accurate, but conservative (2000 mile left on actual life). They also showed that the OLM is capable of remaining accurate even with a change in conditions. If you really want to know what's going on in there, an oil analysis is always king.
