Default Oil life % gauge?

After picking up my S a few weeks ago I was playing with all the buttons. After scrolling through the trip. I came across "OIL LIFE%". is this an accurate reading for when I should change my oil. If so, what percent should I change it at or, should I just stick with the ~3,000 mile mark? Info is appreciated

Also what is the your oil of preference?

It's all up to you to determine. The maintenance minder mostly relies on mileage. I use 5K intervals. If you really want to know what intervals to use then get UOA's performed on your oil.

There are countless oil threads you can refer to for suggestions.
