If you didn't drive the car at all, then the 332 days would come into play, but otherwise you'll get to the 5-10% that sets off the computer in the SID. Typically the % oil life monitor brings you in around 15k for normal driving. R&T says longer oil change intervals, typically 15k with many cars using full synthetic, are fine, that today's full syn's and filters are so good that more frequent changes won't prolong eninge life, but you do have to pay attention to oil levels inbetween. You can't go 15k without checking the oil, you must check levels periodically.
