Free service — when can I take it in?

I normally take my car in at the time it shows 20% of oil life. But that was with the old car and I was paying. With the MY2023 Acura has free maintenance for 2 yr/24K. I’m now showing 20%. Will the dealer accept it for a free service or do I have to wait till the service indicator pops up, which I think is at 15%? The reason I like to do it at 20% so I don’t get to that phase where the indicator pops up and needs to be manually dismissed each time I start the car.

I change oil at 50% and 100% due to fuel dilution

You mean 50% and 0% oil life? So when you change at 50%, you don't reset the service indicator?
