Oil change intervals

Does the IS-F have an OEM oil particulate sensor, or does it prompt you to do an oil change solely off of mileage?

Which manufacturer has a particulate sensor? I've never heard of a particulate sensor in an oil system.

OK, so I poked at it. What good is an iron sensor in determining TBN which is probably the most important attribute your oil has? Bearings are not iron, so what is this sensor doing other than telling you your rings are getting worn (duh)?
