Default change oil light keeps coming on

I got my oil changed about 1k miles ago but I keep getting the change oil light for about a minute after startup. I just turned 40k miles.

Is this something I can ignore or is there some problem?

Maybe they forgot to reset it.
Put the key in the "ON" position, but dont start the car.
Hold in the "Trip" button until the "CHANGE OIL" light blinks.
This should take about 15 seconds.

or turn it to the on position and push the gas pedal 3 or 5 times to the floor.
