[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 4235257, member: 3099"] Probably a good plan with that trailer you have. I've always wondered how those monitors knew if you were towing, and if so, how heavy you were. :rolleyes2 I will say the one in my old '02 Monte Carlo was actually decent. It varied a fair amount depending on driving habits. If I was on the road a lot it would stretch to around 7500 miles, but in town with the ex driving it, it was about 45-4700. Of course I ignored it because it was setup for conventional and I was running synthetic. Actually, I didn't ignore it, I'd reset it and run it until it came on again, then change it. That car had 247,000 on the clock when it cracked a head. It was still running great, but I couldn't keep coolant in it. [/QUOTE]
