Oil Change and Reset Oil guage

Asked by GuruTYTKR Jun 15, 2018 at 09:52 PM about the 2018 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 2LT Coupe RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

When I had my oil changed, the serviceman forgot to reset my oil gauge to
100%.  When I set the reset button in the Oil category, the car now says
100%.  I had my oil changed about 6 weeks ago so my oil should show
some use.  I thought there was a gauge in the oil tank that told the car how
dirty the oil is and when it should be changed.  After I began to drive the car,
will the percentage of clean to dirty oil recalibrate and show me the correct
percentage from clean to dirty oil??

There is no measure of oil quality. The number is computed with miles and how the car is driven. Much better to change the oil on a regular schedule such as every 5,000 miles.
