Oil life..

So i had my oil changed 2 months ago..and my oil life was at like 30% or something..I did it at Firestone..and now my car is showing that i have 15% and the wrench. yes yes i know, It wont automatically fix its self..

So my question is how would i get it to go back up to 100%? or is it also meaning time for more shit to be checked out, and bring it to the dealer?

Just because you changed the oil doesn't mean the oil life will reset itself.
RTFM.

1- you chould/should have waited for the oil life gauge to be at or below 15%.
2- never trust an quicklube place to do the job correctly

besides, what help did ur comments here provide anyway? the things u said were no-brainers to begin with. or maybe you should have told the OP also that if "he can't read the manual to take it to the dealership".
