So even if I would theoretically not use the engine at all, if 1 year goes by since the last oil change, I will be down to 0 % no matter what.

Funny thing I noticed compared to a C6 corvette, the Camaro oil life monitor is more aggressive.
What I mean is, in the same type and mileage driving, the Camaro gets down to about 50% life left where in the same mileage/time/driving style the Corvette was only down to something like 70%.
Just thought it was weird. I had planned the same oil change schedule and as I drove the car I noticed the Camaro ate through the life percentage much quicker than the C6.
So I stuck with the mileage interval range, about 4000, just changed the way I use the life monitor as the indicator. Instead of changing at 70%, I now shoot for 50%.
