For those with over 5,000 miles or so on their Ridgeline, I'm wondering at what mileage the OLM (oil life monitor) showed "service due". There is a service notice for an oil change when the OLM shows below 15%, another at 5% and a past due message beyond that.
The OLM measures how we drive and our driving habits in terms of revs, temps, long/short trips, etc. so I am interested in finding out not only your mileage when the notice appeared but also your driving habits, ie, long, highway miles in hot weather; lots of short trips; stop and go city driving, etc.
If the computer tells one person that service is due at lets say 3,000 miles and another at 7,000 miles for example, I would like to know the cause (which I assume would be reflected in your driving habits).
What is hard on an engine is two extremes - long, high speed driving in very hot weather and at the other end, lots of cold starts with very short trips. Most people fall in-between so maybe an idea of driving habits will shead some light on how this oil life monitor really works. Thanks in advance!
