What's the deal with the oil countdown?
Everyone knows if you turn the key to the on position and wait a few moments, the on-board computer will calculate the oil level. When I did it a week ago it started counting down from like 10 seconds. Yesterday, I get in the car and do the same thing and it starts counting down from 12 minutes. What's up?

I believe has to do with the temperature of your engine. I think its best to do it after the cars cooled down (oil drips back down too), like in the morning. This is all in the owners manual.
