"Lifetime oil" is total BS. When the automatic transmission begins to fail at 100k, 150k miles and the first thing people think/do is change the fluid. Fluid comes out like black water with glitter bits. Doesn't improve trans problem. Needs to be replaced. $$$$$. It's marketing BS. "Our cars are so great, engine oil lasts for 10-15-20K miles, no need to change any other oils". That might work for the majority of folks who buy every 4-5 years and trade before 100k. If you plan on keeping your vehicle for more than 100k, change all the oils. As for the resets, I will roll the dice and say, it can't hurt, and probably helps.
I agree with most of the post, but not the module reset on the Giulia. Based on how sensitive/touchy the modules are on the Giulia you may end up bricking it by trying to reset it. I will not touch a module parameters or setting unless absolutely necessary. Just me.
