Hello and thank you for using JustAnswer. My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will do my best to assist you. During this conversation you will be given an automated offer for a phone call.

Please understand that I do not know your knowledge or capabilities, so I may need to ask questions to find out basic information to help solve your specific problem. The 9% oil life means you are just about due to get your scheduled oil and filter change. When you have it serviced the mechanic should reset this to 100%.

that doesnt mean my car is almost out of oil

No. it is not oil level but oil service life. This does not mean you should not still check oil levels on a regular basis about every 1,000 miles to make sure [engine](/topics-engine-chevy/) does not get low on oil between oil changes. Do you have any other questions for me?

Will the oil light come on if I’m low on oil

but it will only come on if low oil pressure.
