Me personally? Never. I bought it used a few months ago. So there's no mileage sticker or anything. Dealer says light comes on at 15%.

if you haven’t had it serviced yet since you bought it, yes, you should take it in. just do it.

This—you have no idea if the previous owner just reset the light when it came on. Better to have a fresh start.

Even if you reset it, it comes on every time you start the car until it's changed. While it could be a good idea to get the oil changed for a piece of mind, it's not necessary at 40%

No, when you reset it the light doesn't come on anymore until it goes back to 15%. That's why people reset it. The warning light is just programmed to come on when the level (not really the level) is at a certain number.

I have a Honda and routinely wait until 10% to change the oil. You are fine.

I usually wait until 5% and sometimes even -250 miles. You would be fine waiting....
