Have had the 2015 Expy since November 2020. CARFAX indicated the selling dealer did an oil change June 2020 and 106K miles. The oil life monitor had gone to zero by June 2021 and 111K miles (12 months and 5K miles). I thought you could go 10K miles on the oil, so I suppose the algorithm takes into account time as well as miles? In preparation, I watched several YouTube videos on the oil change procedure, and noted all said the oil filter was incredibly difficult to access. Found this to be quite accurate, but slogged through it anyway acquiring several bruises on my forearms in the process. Final question: manual says 6.0 quarts to fill including a new filter, but upon checking dipstick ahead of the procedure, I noted it always read high, above the top mark. So, I only added 5.0 quarts of oil when I filled it, and even though the level is at the bottom dot on the dipstick, the oil pressure display says "OK". Wondering how "safe" it is to run with 5.0 quarts until the oil level burns down a little? Or maybe just add 0.5 quart to bring level to the middle of the two dots?
