I’ve actually measured mine and the life gets below 10% right around 10k miles. Maybe my software is newer than yours or maybe it actually uses engine data to calculate the oil quality. But I wrote down the mileage I reset it at 100% and then checked when it was at 10% and it was right below 10k.

engine oil life monitors that show % value is strictly off of a mileage calculation that can be changed in most vehicles to reflect what mileage you like to change your oil at. There is NO oil quality monitor on vehicles.

I drive pretty hard, so mine recommends shorter intervals than yours. Me driving normally is probably equivalent to someone towing a trailer.
IIRC, it measures stuff like mileage, time running/idling, rpm, and oil temps to make the recommendations
