Default oil change light?

I had my oil changed 1500 miles ago...and i reset the oil change life monitor...since then..about 500 miles later...the oil change light will come on for around 5 minutes everytime I start the car...today after it shut off...it blink for a second and then the service vehicle light came on....but I stopped the car and restarted it and the service vehical came off, but the oil change light was back on like normal. i've also tried re setting the oil life monitoring system a few times. Anybody know how to stop this?

your car isn't low on oil is it? maybe check it to be safe. On my car you turn the key on and hold down the odometer reset button until it flashes and goes off. Other than that i dont know what to tell you? What is your oil pressure like?
