Oil life is measured by how many miles you put on your oil. Basically it's a tripometer renamed. And they're not accurate to the driver.

Oil life is affected by the distance you drive at any one time, how hard you drive it, the speed you drive at, and the time between driving. There's no way that the "oil life" indicator takes any of that into account. Trust me.
