Does the 2016 50.L actually have an oil sensor that monitors the oil condition (dirt, viscosity, etc) and trigger the oil change message? Or is this message simply tied to mileage (after resetting)? Thanks.

Question about 2016 5.0L GT - Oil Change Message

Folks,
Does the 2016 50.L actually have an oil sensor that monitors the oil condition (dirt, viscosity, etc) and trigger the oil change message? Or is this message simply tied to mileage (after resetting)? Thanks.

I believe it uses an algorithm that keeps track of mileage and takes into account how hard the engine is being pushed, temperature, idle time, etc. It's not perfect, but it's probably a more accurate indicator of oil life than just going by mileage alone.
