If you drive around the Volt for 5 years and don't put much mileage on it, does the car eventually count down to 0% on the oil life for some sort of calendar based recommendation for changing the oil?

For people who actually drive these on road trips and the gas engine is running almost exclusively on the highway, what sort of miles do people reach before a recommended change comes about?

I remember my 2002 Pontiac Grand Am would usually pop the oil change light at around 5000 with its monitoring system, but I wasn't driving it exclusively on the highway. I know someone driving a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer with a 7 quart oil sump and it counts down to 0% at over 10k miles. Wondering how that looks in comparison with the Volt.
