you have to reset the light when you do an oil change. Hold down the trip odometer reset button until the oil light blinks and goes away (probably 15 sec).

Done!

Don't forget to turn the key to the RUN position (without starting) before pressing in and holding the trip/oil reset button. I'd get the code read for whatever is causing the SES - even with it off most codes are stored in history for 40 ignition cycles. Places like Auto Zone will read them free.
