Eli5 what does 10% oil life mean?

620 views

Does it mean I should use up the last 10% and then get my oil changed otherwise I would just be throwing money out the window (the last 10% of use)? Or does it mean get the oil changed right now because my oil is gross.

It means that 10% of the original oil life present the last time it was changed remains. If it was changed 10 months ago and was at 100% then, you would have roughly one month left before it was necessary to change it, based on the timer in the car.
