There are several things that the DME looks at to calculate the oil life. Miles driven, how hard those miles are driven, how much fuel is used, freeway vs in town, cold engine vs hot, and also the condition of the oil (using a condition sensor built into the level sensor), and probably other stuff that I'm forgetting right now.
