[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the rate I'm driving, I wonder when I will get an oil change. 
The last time I got an oil change was last year, July 2019.
Like some people, my driving has reduce down to about 30 miles a week or less since March. The oil is at 40%. The car is about 100,100 miles. I'm really waiting for it to get to 101,000 miles or the next oil change to get a tune up. I usually change my oil at 15%.
I like to have things check before winter comes.  The car is starting to make sounds that needs to be checked. The more I drive it, the less sounds  my car makes. Should I just change my oil at the current 40% and get a tune up at the same time? Or wait till it drops down to 15% to take it in? 
I really don't want to take my car to the shop more than once. And I prefer to take my car in before winter weather kicks in.

How many miles have you driven since the July 2019 oil change? If you've synthetic oil, you should be good for another 6-12 months and if you've used quality oils like Mobil 1, you're good go drive up to 10k miles on it, no need to worry. the 900 miles from 100,100 to 101,000 won't make much difference. If you've driven 12k miles after a oil change, I'd start to worry a bit, but even then, you can use run a $20 engine cleaner that will take out any grime or stuff stuck in various places. [/quote]
