Today I got in my truck and took 3 short trips, less than 10 minute trips each totaling less than 20 miles. Out of curriosity I've been watching different readouts on the display below the spedo. Today I was watching the "oil life" diplay. When I started out today it was "84% remaining" and by the time I got back home it said "76% remaining". I didn't drive my truck hard at all today and couldn't come up with an idea of why it had decreased so much in such a short period. Any thoughts? Thanks for any feedback.
2008 4dr, sb, 4wd bone stock with just under 1100 miles on it. I drive like a grandpa most of the time to try and get the best milage out of it.
The Truck Will Calculate The Oil Life Whith Milleage Idle And How Hard It Work All By It Self
Thats my understanding, I just can't find the logic of how the oil life will be degraded so much in such a short time, with the driving condions it was given. Guess it doesn't matter much at this point as I plan on changing the oil at around 2500 miles anyway.
Maybe it was rolling over. On the verdge of gowing down 4 then went ahead?
I go by mileage anyways!

Mine fluctuates a lot as well. I just ignore it and do mine every 7 thousand. And normally, my percentage left is always at 20%-24% when I do change it.
