Default oil change light help

Everytime I start my car the oil change light stays on and after 15seconds or so the light will turn off and not turn on again until I star the car again. Anybody know what could be wrong?

hmmm thats a new one for me, i didn't know that one. I just turn the key forward without starting the car then hold the trip reset button for 5 seconds. then turn the ignition back off.
