When to change oil

Lol, now some wish OLMs were more comprehensive?
I wish cars were cheaper and didn't come with 100 different 21st century features and functions. Maybe I'm not old enough to need to rely on an oil life minder or things of the like...
I still write down all the services and repairs in the back of the owners manual. Or in the case of new vehicles that have deleted the blank pages, on a piece of paper.
My new Chevy half ton also tells brake pad life and air filter life.
I know the air-filter life monitor is not accurate. It's down to under 70% at last check, just under 7,000 miles on the truck.
Truck hasn't seen a spec of dust, nor winter conditions, and precious few bugs yet. Around here, air filters last dang near forever if your vehicle doesn't suck in rain or road spray.
In the 10 years we've now lived in the Seattle area, my air filter bill has been cut by about 90%!
$20 says the Cheeebie dealer or zippy lube tells me I need an air filter around 20k miles!
