OK question.......
Took my AV into the dealer this morning because the AC stopped blowing cold (probably a leak)... now while I was there I told them I was going to Oklahoma on Friday, a 3000+ mile round trip. My AV current has 3500 on it. He told me that the oil is suppose to be changed every 3000 miles.
I asked him if he was sure because I thought the AV had an oil management system that would allow you to drive up to 10,000 before the light would come on and was that distance could vary based on driving style. Initially he said I don't think so. I kept pressing him and told him that I do think it has a system and that the system has sensors that detect oil wear based on acidic content in the oil and viscosity wear.
He laughed at me! He said I don't think it is that smart!!!! Then he changed his tune and said "we recommend that all vehicles get the oil changed every 3000 miles".
So what is the deal? Can I drive this thing until the light comes on? I was under the impression that I didn't have to change the oil every 3000.
