Oil change indicator.

I think mine was about 7k when it it was at 20%. That was at about 11.5 months in. The dealer says 10% or 1 year, whichever comes first. There's nothing wrong with you indicator. It depends somewhat on how much stop and go you do versus suburban/highway driving I think.

all highway miles, without activating vtec(5k-7k RPM) will net you a longer oil life.
all city, stop and go, while actively reaching 7k RPM on a daily basis will make the oil life decrease faster.
the computer uses an algorithm to determine oil life.
stop and go traffic is harder on engine components than highway miles.

This has me thinking... What is the oil filter catching? I assume that you replace your filter with every oil change but with synthetics, you wait longer between changes. Does this negatively affect the car's life with having your oil filter longer? Yes, the oil is better but the oil filter is filtering something from the oil.
