oil change.. How does it know?
How the heck does that thing know when your oil is done for? some super cool sensor or is it a hours runnig thing?
The more you put the hammer down the quicker the meter goes down?

It takes a lot of things into account. The miles, the oil temps reached, rpm's, the cold starts, trip durations, etc.
It is quite "smart" in how it gauges the life of the oil, although there is no actual sensor physically sensing the oil quality.
Trust it, it does a lot of thinking for you.
