take a look at this indicator it is worn already and I placed it on a brand new pad. If you notice it alarms you when you still have 25% of your pad left. This means if you gone 30k miles you still have another 10K miles left.

I think you are saying that you didn't see any oil on the oil dipstick. That doesn't mean there is no oil in the engine. Dipstick doesn't go ALL THE WAY to the bottom of the pan. Not showing up any oil on the dipstick does indicate the oil is LOW (probably 2 qts low, at least). Just wanted to clarify that ... you are thinking that there is no oil in the engine because you didn't see any oil on the dipstick.

About the brake pads, as other members suggested, the only way to find out the 'remaining life of the pads' is by checking the thickness of the remaining pads. If you are an aggressive driver, I'd say go ahead and change them for safety and peace of mind - you have some time in researching the place where you want to have them replaced. By the way, it's not hard to change the brake pads. Have you considered replacing them yourself?
