Make an appointment when it says 10% or 5%. No need to do it at 20%, but don't ignore it either.

Mileage isn't everything. You can idle your car for 6 months, your mileage would be 0, but your oil would be shit.

I make the appointment at 15% for mine, which is usually a day or two later.

I can't stand the incessant warnings once you get to 15%. Every time you start the car.

This is definitely true.

I once drove down my back alley with 5% oil, low fuel, and without my seatbelt, and my car probably had a heart attack lol so many warnings.

Press the 'i' button on your steering wheel and press left or right to scroll to the wrench icon. It will tell you your oil percentage and pending maintenance items. When you hit 15% the light will come on and show you by default everytime you start the car.
