Should I change oil at 15%?
Generally you should change at 10-15% oil life otherwise it will damage Engine affecting car performance. The 15% is an average of total miles recommended. Depends on how you use your car and how much is city driving, etc. Assuming 7,500 intervals, you have a theoretical range of around 1000 miles before due.
How many miles can you Drive on 15% oil?
, Driving is only as good as the scenery you drive through. If we assume the regular oil change interval is 3,000 miles, 15% is 450, so you are good to go. However, I wouldn’t take either the oil change interval or your car’s gauge as gospel because both are likely quite conservative.
How long does a 15% oil change last?
Lets assume 300 miles is the last 15% of your oil use. Then Solving, N=1700. So that means your oil change only lasts for 2000 miles. In reality, oil chnages in the worst case are generally rated for 3000 miles, and typically last 7500 miles in used reasonably on a normal schedule. So you… Loading…
Can you change your oil before 300 miles?
Oil is its “life-blood” You should change it before going away if possible. However, if you’re pressed for time, or short of $25 this week, with-holding the oil change for another 300 mile would be fine. Just be sure to check the oil level in your vehicle before you depart just to make sure your vehicle will make it through the journey
What’s the average life of an oil chnage?

Can you drive when your oil’s life is zero?
… your oil is probably at the end of its service life …oh, there may be some percentage of oil life padded into what the computer informs you is zero …but you should get it changed as soon as possible. Let’s put it this way; if my oil life is at zero I would not be planning some extended road trip with the car.
