Maybe the oil life is set to a longer duration than you expect; maybe you expect the light to illuminate at five-thousand miles when the duration is set to seven-thousand miles.
Maybe the duration isn't what you expect. Maybe you expect the light to illuminate at five- thousand miles, and it's set to eight-thousand miles.
Supposedly oil life is determined by engine temperature, driving conditions (highway or stop and go), engine RPMs, and mileage. If the oil life doesn't get down low enough for the light to come on because you don't drive the vehicle much the oil and oil filter should be changed at least once a year. Hope that helps! Jim
