You should be fine, but you can always drain if you like.

Isn't that (the A1) just the normal Maintenance Minder message telling you that it's time for an oil change? I've never seen it because I don't drive enough (non-highway miles) to get past 60-70% oil life before my annual oil change.

If it's time for an oil change anyway, you have the answer to your question.
