Every time I crank up, an idiot light comes on. It tells me I need to change oil.
I actually change it way too often, full synthetic at 3000 miles and usually sooner.
The problem is I am getting old enough and arthritic enough that I can no longer get under the car to drain the oil. No problem as I bought a vacuum operated unit which sucks the oil out through the dipstick tube.
After a bit of figuring it out, I can now get it all out that way. The oil filter is very easy to get to.
Apparently the car knows when you unscrew the oil drain plug and resets itself. Since I don’t touch it, the light keeps telling me to change oil
