I'm told by those who should know that the oil life monitors most new veh have as stock take a number of parameters into account when determining "life". These including miles, overall run time (hrs), run time while cold, run time hot, # of cold starts, # of hot starts and time since last oil change regardless of the other factors. From personal experience I've concluded the oil life monitors are pretty much on the mark and that's what I use to determine when an oil change is due. FWIW, I change @ ~ 20% mostly to avoid getting to zero when an unexpected trip is required and oil change places are closed. I've evolved to a higher life form and no longer change my own oil on autos.
