The '94 Concours models have an "oil life indicator" which can be accessed by pressing the "information" button until you reach the indicator. It will give you a percentage of your oil life that in remaining. (i.e. 94% oil life left). The computer in this car calculates your driving habits as well as the oil temperatures and gives you the oil life percentage that you read on the dash. It is a very accurate calculator. Mine has ranged from 3,000 to about 4,000 miles between oil changes. You will have to manually reset the calculator by pressing the "information" button until you reach the indicator. Once you reach the indicator press and hold the "reset" button unil the indicator reads 100%. If you don't trust the calculator a recommended change of ever 3,000 to 4,000 miles is appropriate. Most engines are good for 5,000, but with an all aluminum engine you want to be careful. The seals on the pistons and such are less likely to fail if the oil is maintained every 3,000 to 4,000 miles.
