I know this has been discussed ad nauseum, but after reading the post history, it sounds like this decision is more art than science, which is frustrating for first-time car owners like me who are obsessive (to a fault) about doing the "right" thing.
I got a 2019 CX-5 Signature in Feb 2020.
I live in New Jersey, so presumably Schedule 2 for oil change. Short-distance city driving with lots of braking. I don't drive the car every day (usually just weekends).
I got my first oil change at 6 months and 3,700 miles.
I'm now coming up on the next 6-month mark, and car has ~7,000 miles
Flexible OCI says I have 4,000 miles left on this oil (I know I can't go longer than 12 months without a change)
So, should I trust the Flexible OCI and wait until ~12 months for my next oil change, or should I just go ahead and get the oil changed at the 6-month mark? Would warranty be impacted either way?
Appreciate any advice!
