That light is an IDIOT light. It lights up at a fixed number of miles since the last time it was turned off. It is fixed on the standard maintenance schedule. So technically it is telling you to have your second oil change done. If you are like many of the rest of us, you are changing it every 3K.

In the manual it states how to reset the light.

i would like to think most of us DONT change the oil at 3k and wait a while longer at least. 3k oil changes are a waste.
