Oil life question
Hello
I was hoping someone could help me out with this.
I have a 2020 F350 6.7 ccsb with 1900 miles. I snow bird in Florida so my truck hibernates through the winter. In October I had the oil and filter changed. Drove 2 miles filled the tank and drove it home and parked it in the garage. Put the battery tendered on it and said goodbye. I checked the oil life meter to make sure it was reset from the dealer.
When I started it in April the oil life meter said 50 percent. I know the oil didn't go bad and the truck was in deep sleep mode.
Does the meter look at time has well as driving habits. Should I just reset the meter.
Thanks

I think if I were you, I would have waited until taking it out of storage and then done the fresh oil change, not before storing it.

I would keep the IOLM where it's at, as a reminder when its been 12 months. Unless you think you’ll hit the mileage interval before that time.
