5k on my 3.0 Babymax diesel. Still show roughly 40-50% oil life monitor but don't trust it

90k or so on my baby max changing at 0% and no issues. 2019 gas burner did the same and no issues for 60k or so and had a 2007 and no issues doing the same for 225k.
I laugh at the people who have live shops and downvote me for changing at the recommended oil change

Not sure exactly wtf you're talking about and why you quoted me. I answered the OP's question. You do you and I do me and I spend twice the $$ in an oil change and filter. I choose to error on the side of knowing my shite is in order. But you do you Ol boy, ain't nobody downvoted your arse for it

lol easy hoss,,, I was just replying to your post about the baby max. I got two downvotes when I replied earlier that i change mine at 0%.
As for in order if the company that warranties the motor says 0% ~8–10k miles wouldn’t that be in order??!!
But yeah you do you I was just providing almost 400k miles of data following Chevy recommended oil change PM plan with out any negative impact.
