Maintenance Reminder Intervals

I swear I tried to look for this info EVERYWHERE - short of calling the Acura dealer, but do you guys know how many miles does it take to make the oil change reminder reach 0% from 100%?

I read that and it's inconclusive. No one is sure how the interval is calculated. Some thinks it's by the mileage, some thinks it's by the driving and temp conditions...

Don't be worry, I appreciate you trying. I guess we'll just have to obey the almighty Acura maintenance minder.

I believe it is a combo of factors including mileage. Mine has gone close to 10K between oil change reminder
