GM vehicles extends oil change intervals to 15,000 miles LAS VEGAS, Nov 2 (Reuters) - General Motors Corp . said on Monday it will put a computerized oil monitoring system in nearly all its North American vehicles which will tell drivers when to change their oil. The GM Oil-Life System, to be rolled out over the next five years, will monitor engine revolutions, operating temperature and other factors to automatically determine when a vehicle's oil should be changed. Car owners are now usually advised to change their oil every 3,000 miles, but the system could safely extend the mileage between oil changes to up to 15,000 miles, GM said at the Specialty Equipment Manufacturers (SEMA) show in Las Vegas. "Every driver operates with different driving styles and under different conditions. The oil-life monitor compensates for that, allowing a customized diagnosis of each vehicle's oil change needs," said Michael Grimaldi, a vice president and vehicle line executive for full-size trucks. The system is already available on the Chevrolet Corvette, Cadillacs with the Northstar engine and some other car models, GM said.
