Hi Nick,
Thanks so much for the tip on resetting oil change light on my mustang. I haven’t driven the car much: having conducted the first service and oil change at 1500 miles. A year or so later with only a further 1500 miles on the clock and the warning oil change request. My question Nick is, do I really need to change the oil or is it still good for another year.

Many thanks for your pending advice.

Leo
