Depending on how you drive, you most likely won't see it for a while. Based on my experience with the I5 over the past year and a half, the oil life warning won't activate until >10k. The monitoring systems reports percentage oil life remaining when you read the PCM with a scan tool (unlike the H2 which has a "DIC" readout). I change my oil at 5k intervals and the "oil life monitor" consistently reads between 48-52 percent oil life remaining when I reset it each time, YMMV.
