How does the onboard computer of a 2000 Ford Windstar SEL calculate that you need to change the oil?

You program the "computer" for a specific mileage between filter changes. It will display a message when it is nearing time for a change. See the owners manual for steps to program the computer module (instrument cluster module0. Carl
On the Windstar, the default calculation is on Ford's recommended mileage interval - 5,000 miles.
It is possible to over-ride that and set a shorter mileage interval.
Those instructions are also in the Owners Manual (See "Related Questions" below)

You can only do that if you have an onboard computer. In my case I have a VW Polo Confortline 2006 with computer. Then you just need to press an up/down button on the extremety of the wipe wash control (the right one). If you don't have onboard computer, I believe you that you can't check the ouside temperature, travel time, Kilometers left with current fuel on tank...
