There are various reports from forum members in earlier posts of the thread that share when the 15% oil life came on.After 5800 miles on my 2019 the light came on to change the oil. Wondering what some of you owners got in the way of mileage before the system told you it was time for an oil change.
Generally, for 'higher mileage' drivers in 'normal' driving conditions, the 15% oil life indicator happens around 10-12k miles. For 'lower mileage' drivers, the 15% oil life indicator seems to come on ~1 year from last oil change (or factory fill if newly produced).
It sounds like your driving is in the second camp, so you received a time-based (vs mileage based) reminder. I saw from prior posts that you bought the car in Dec 2018, so it fits that the maintenance minder is prompting you for oil change 1 year later.
Is the production date of your car also Dec 2018, or did the dealer check/change the oil before you picked the car up in Dec 2018?
