Oil life indicator: 5% at at time?

'06 TL 5AT: Does the Oil Life Indicator count down in 1% increments (100%,99%, 98%, etc), or 5% increments (100%, 95%, 90%, etc.)? I have 500 miles on my odo and my Oil Life Indicator still shows 100%.

Thanks...

Counts down at 10% increments and then 5 after it had reached 20%.

I think 10%/5% idea is good idea. I'd get nervious seeing numbers drop by one.

HA! I've been nervous at the opposite. My previous vehicles (GMs) counted down 1% at a time...at least I knew it was working. Haven't seen any evidence of that on my new TL yet, but the posts on this thread now calm me down. Thanks, folks.
