Default Oil bar stuck

Does anyone know why my oil bar is stuck where its at? You can see in the pic with the red arrow pointing towards it. I just got a oil change this morning and you can see its at 100% but the bar has been stuck for bout 2 years now. When i first bought the car it worked fine for bout 2 years and ever since the bar is stuck i get no display message saying change oil soon and im not even sure if my oil light comes on anymore. Like this morning my oil percentage was at 9% and no oil light and no message reading change oil soon. Could that be a sensor or wiring problem or what? I have a 2016 dodge standard challenger bte

I'm fairly certain those 7 bars at the bottom are indicating which section the menu you have open?

That's how my truck and Durango both are, yes they were not a challenger but I think that they function similarly

I have never seen oil life displayed anywhere else, it is strange you are not getting the oil life warning, I never really pay attention to when they start showing up, I think around 10%

Sorry for the confusion. I'm saying on my truck and Durango the little bars on the bottom, or in my case dots, are indicating what section of the menu I am in.

See the following pictures from my Durango for reference the dots change based on which menu screen I have open.

I was also saying I don't recall seeing an oil life indicator anywhere other than in the menu window. You had mentioned you no longer get oil life warnings. I don't have an explanation for that.
