Does the SS use a simple mileage reset function to determine when the next oil change should be? Or, is it a sensor that determines oil condition? If the former, how do you reset it?

Neither. It uses the old fashion system - remember every 3,000 miles that it's due for another change. Or you can add a turbo to it and then change the oil every time the rear tire needs changing. That's about every 3,000 miles if you ride it hard

Set odometer #2 to zero every time you change oil and then you will not have to remember.

What if I try to save some future arguments by rewriting, "Neither. It uses the old fashion system - remember every (X)XXXX miles, whatever your personal preference happens to be, that it's due for another change?"

2015 manual says every 5k so I change at even 5k intervals, 5 000, 10,000, 15,000 etc. Easy to remember. Doesn't bother me if I am off by a few hundred either way.

My 2019 has a reminder built into the ride command system. At 3K, it flashes "Change oil Soon!" And at 3500, it says "Change oil Now!"
The only way to get rid of the message is to reset the timer. I suppose you could reset without changing the oil, but that would be kinda dumb.

When I recently bought mine, it only had 20 miles on it and the change oil reminder kept popping up on the dash display. The dealer said it was probably because the ride was a year old. They reset it when I had the break in service done and said every 5k is fine unless your driving habits dictate otherwise.
