How oil life is measured?
My 2010 GT as many other cars has oil life indicator. Does anyone know how it is calculated ? Just milage or maybe engine on/off cycles? I don't believe there is some kind of magic sensor that analyses the quality of the oil. When I had 1200 miles it indicated 85%. Does it go to 0% before it warns you to change oil ?

the total base number( google it ) is the true indicator of a oils life,
too bad cars cannot determine the tbn of a oil.
the car is just "suggesting" that you need a oil change, it really does not know if the oil's life is used up.
