Huh? I wasn't even responding to you.

With all due respect, that was one of the most long winded and useless videos I've ever watched. I fail to see one single thing that makes these windshields "a lot more special than other cars". 🤷‍♂️

Ah yes. The S197 owner coming to the 7g forums to post opinions on a car he doesn't own. Stay classy sir.

Bro. Your just saying the same thing over and over and way over thinking this. The OP asked a question and I answered it. Did I ever say the computer was 100% acurate and takes into account ALL posible varients when calculating oil life? Of course not. No one is saying that. Do normal people do...

You'd be very hard pressed to find an example. The only reason the dealer would ever question the oil history, is if the vehicle came in with dirty or low oil.

See post 38. I was responding to him and not the OP. And yes, that is exactly what he asked.

The car isn't guessing if you just reset the oil life a then took it to the track. It knows the starting point and driving conditions it was under thereafter. It's following a very accurate algorithm based on the information it's recording. You can believe it or not, but it's obviously more...

Again, It's not hard to save documentation. I just throw my jiffy lube receipts in the glove box. Your vin and odometer are on every invoice. Also, if something goes wrong and they think improper oil changes where a factor (which is extremely unlikely unless the oil was in terrible shape or...

Ummm the car IS going by time and miles. Its also going by RPM, oil pressure, and temp. So it does know what the condition of the oil is. It's all recorded in the computer. Track use is very hard on oil. Its common knowledge that you change oil after extended track use. Even the manual...

Why? It's not hard to document oil changes outside of a dealer. If you pay for a carfax on your vehicle, you can even update all the services and oil changes yourself.

Nope. After tracking this is common. I've seen it in the S550s.

Its mostly based on engine RPMs, oil pressures, and time intervals. I'd suspect drive modes factor in as well.

Not unusual after track use. Glad the algorithm works properly.

Vendors are marketing this upgrade/conversion. Re-flashing to read correct temps shouldn't be big deal as long as it's a Ford part.

I was considering this mod until I found out the cars electronics weren't compatible to read the new temps. What a stupid thing coming from Ford.

How about we stay on topic folks?

Thank the lord my car didn't come with auto start/stop. Probably the most annoying feature made since automatic seatbelts. Lol

The presure is real. I think he means the oil temp. It's an algorithm that the computer interprets based on the engine info. There is no dedicated temp sensor for the oil.
