Maintenance minder reading dropping like flies when reaches zero %
My 2010 AT Fit went through her first maintenance yesterday at Honda Dealership - first maintenance free with 7900 km odometer reading.
Interesting observation the day before - When the maintenance minder dropped to 0% the day before, it aggressively dropped in -10% increments each time I started the engine. Within 1 day, I did three engine starts between the time the minder shows 0% to the the time I drove to the dealership. By the time I reached the service center, the maintenance minder shows -30%, dropped 30% in one day.
Is it detrimental to the engine if I only do the oil change when the minder shows 0% or less?
I've also changed out my X-ice snows to sports rim and installed a wheel lock nuts

due to others' oil analysis from blackstone where BS said they could have gone much further, I doubt there was any damage done but....
... honda recommends changing at 15% not 0% that's why the reminder comes on so I would not let it go down to 0 again. If you are going to let it go, definitely change over to synthetic but even then, I wouldn't recommend it.
Realistically whether damage was done will depend on how you drive. You seem to be a bit heavier on the pedal hitting 0 at 7900km. I've done two changes and average about 10,000 MILES between changes. You are about half of that so in your case I would DEFINITELY NOT go past 10% and schedule your oil change at 15%

I installed Tanabe DF210 springs, and JDM Honda red H badges 
The ride is awesome, although a rear passenger who has been riding since I got the car new in stock form says its a lot bouncier in the rear, feels fine for the front people though. Handles a lot better, much less body roll and nose dive under braking.
(car not clean excuse the nasty!)

Fizz Autosports they are $5 per pledge and you can select between white and red. Let me know 
Its ashame the Japan had another quake off its coast. They just can't catch a break right now. Tsunami warnings have been called off, but aftershocks could trigger one. I'll have to get over the Fizz to get my sticker.
