Default Stubborn Oil Change Light

Ok.. so i did my oil change a lil while ago... and my oil light is bein stubborn as hell.. The reset thing doesn't work, so i checked oil level. It is spot on, consistency is still new looking as well. It goes away after maybe 10 sec of driving, but nonetheless, it is rather annoying. Any suggestions? Ohh and i did a whole car reset with the battery removed for several hours.

It doesn't reset if you have the key on, engine off, and press and hold the trip reset for 10 seconds?

You can also have the key on, engine off, and press the gas pedal all the way and let off all the way a few times and it will reset I believe.

yeah Put key in ignition. turn key to on position with engine off. completely depress acceleration pedal and release three times. then wait about 5 seconds, then start car.
