06 display question: Oil Life

Noticed today that the Oil Life display is saying 90% now(it was 100% until yesterday).

My question is: Does it decrease in 10s or is it precise to a single percent?

I can't imagine my oil life having dropped by 10% in one day. I understand the first 1000KM or so are very harsh on the oil due to the metal bits coming off the pistons and other parts.

Anyone know?

thanks

Mine's down to 80%. It looks like it falls in 10s.

BTW, does anyone know if the oil life is just a guesstimate based on miles driven, or does it actually have sensors monitoring the quality of the oil?
