Im just wondering is the oil life percentage a reliable measure? Does it calculate based on miles or is there actually a sensor?

based on miles and hours too need to reset it everytime you change the oil

It gives percentage based on 10k miles. If you run synthetic thats a decent number to go by. I change mine every 3k but will be adding a remote filter to extend to the 10k.
