40 percent is the life of the oil. not the amount of oil in there.
honestly, anyone who spends this much money should be proud of the investment they have made and take the time to RTFM ( read the f@$#ing manual)
there are instructions on how to reset it in the forums. happy searching

The procedure on page 196 of the manual is incorrect. In paragraph 3a of the manual, the requirement to hold the button for 10 seconds the second time it is pressed is omitted. If this is not done, the display will not reset.
Here’s the full procedure to reset the MID display.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON
2. Select Trip A or Trip B (You can use either one, so if you are using one to record data for something, use the other one to reset the Oil Life Indicator).
3. Press the < or > button repeatedly until the oil life is displayed.
4. Press and hold the Select/Reset button for 10 seconds. The Multi-Information Display will ask for a confirmation.
a. If you are sure you want to reset the display, press the Select/Reset button for 10 seconds again. (This is the part omitted from the manual.)
b. If you do not want to reset the display, press the < or > button to select “Cancel”

Gratis dictum
I think I would rather RTFM and believe most of what's in there, than take what most car salespersons say as gospel. Those folks need to take smart pills and honesty lessons.
