Default Oil change light??

My oil change light came on the other day, and my oil was about half abquartblow. So I filled it. But the light has stayed on and the lol level hasnt gone down? There's 1000 miles until my next oil change.. What could be causing this?

You have to reset the oil change monitor. KOEO, hold the trip reset for 12 seconds, the oil change light will flash at you. Check your owner's manual. It's in there too.

The computer calculates oil life. It's not really distance between oil changes, it's how the PCM perceives you have been driving the car.

Dont worry about it, just change the oil every 3 months or 3k and youll be fine. That light is for women drivers......lol, jk ladies
