I know I'm gonna get laughed at....

In fact, I'm even laughing at myself because you'd expect a tuner to know this but I just went from a 2001 Grand AM to a 2006 Cobalt and when it measures Oil life in percentage, does it start out at 100% and go down from there or what?I've just never seen it measured in percentage before.

I guess I should change mine then. It's at 26% if I remember right and yeah... If I had a dead body to get rid of I'd go to Lake Lewisville or Lake Worth
