[QUOTE="Afterimage, post: 272976, member: 7676"] I used up my last free oil change at WN back in Oct. shortly before I was going to put the car away. I did drive the car a few more times before parking it sometime in Nov. The oil change monitor was reset after the free oil change was done so when I parked the car it was close to 100% (probably around 95-97%). When I got my car going for this season the OCM had gone down to 53% and I was still driving the car around for a few weeks before I did the oil change myself last week. I kinda didn't like the major torque the person at WN applied to my drain plugs (way too tight) along with the oil filter so that will be the last time any shop will be doing this service for me (I always do oil changes myself and now much easier to do that I have a scissor lift to put the car up). I changed the little drain plug gaskets to new ones and everything is torqued to the proper specs and paint marked so next time I can just line up the marks and know the plugs and oil filter are tightened properly.
