Engine oil life problem

[aretemorals]

As @GATORB8 mentioned, knowing your build date will help determine the affect time has taken on the calculations. Look at the label on the frame inside the driver door and find the MDH code, which will tell the Month Day Hour of your build.

My 4xe arrived to the dealer 26 hours after build complete, and oil life was 98% when I picked it up. First two weeks, oil life dropped to 94%. A month later it went back up to 95%. At 5k total miles, it was at 60%. The computer needs time to learn your driving habits and adjust. You’ve only driven 73 miles in two weeks?? Get out and drive the damn thing! ?

Haha! A little busy recently, but surely I can't wait to do a road trip in the 4xe!

The build date is April 25, 2022. Would it make a bit more sense given the build date?

That’s probably it. Just under 3 months into the 12 month interval.

Thank you! That makes sense.

You could always reset it with less than 100 miles. Maybe just a fluke.

You are way overthinking this. Drive it as has been suggested, change it like Old Dogger suggested. Don’t give this another thought…. Unless you know the algorithms for the oil monitor you’re wasting valuable brain cells.

Nearly 3 months of time equals nearly 25% of life used, considering how little you drive it. Simple time equation.

Algorithm considers usage in the life calculation. Guy that unloaded the Jeep at the dealership drove it like he stole it.

Put it this way: if you didn't have an electronic nanny, you wouldn't have a clue except by looking at the oil and the mileage. Drive your rig and enjoy it. You're over thinking this.

It's the same as shown on the UConnect app, 76%.

Then there's nothing wrong, that's a good sign actually that they match up! I think the build date is your culprit as others have said, it's just counted off the time since build already. After next oil change and you reset it then your app should be back to 100% again, just like it is in the Jeep.
