My 4month old 2022 black edition with 9speed trans shows 40% oil life on just over 4,000km (2,485miles)
I haven't done my first oil change yet and just checked the tire pressure and oil life under "maintenance" on instrument cluster for the first time.
So I inflated the tires to 36psi from 33psi (35psi is recommened) and found that the oil life is only 40% left.

Is this normal? What does this "OIL LIFE" mean? Is there a sensor that detects how think the oil is or if the oil level is getting lower than normal?

I barely know anything about car maintenance and it will be much appreciated if you know what that means. By the way, I just installed S-VCM and if the oil change is almost due, I will have to take the SVCM off before taking it to the dealership.

Thank you in advance

About right. I had 15% oil life at 4000 miles.
The oil life is related to the quality of the oil. With time, mileage, driving habits etc., the oil slowly looses its original lubrication qualities. It is not related to oil level. For oil level use the dip stick.

Thank you!
you explained all I needed to know

Nothing to worry about. Note that oil change interval (or oil life) is also time related (1 year max). Even if you drive 1000 miles per year oil change will be due at 1 year mark. I bet your car was built 2-4 months before you took delivery and will be due for an oil change in approximately 4-6 months at 4500-5000 miles on the odometer. Oil type (conventional, blend or full synthetic) does not affect MM (maintenance minder) % oil life left.

Thanks a lot for the info. Then I don't have to worry about the oil life or oil change until I return from a long work. 6months from now

I'm at 80% oil life with only 608 miles (85% city, 15% highway)

Ok then mine is perfectly normal.
Apparently, it depends on driving condition/habits and time related and maybe other factors? all at the same time.
