Condition based service is determined by the cars computer. The 15K oil change IMO is a bit long and I would change my oil at 10K and reset.

After the oil service reset, oil life will show 15000 miles. It'll count down at 1000 miles, e.g. 14000, 13000. At 5000 miles, it start counting down at 100 miles, e.g. 4900, 4800.

How quickly it counts down depends on frequency of engine starts and how the vehicle is driven.
