Oil change light Why is this staying on for a little while after I start the car?
There's plenty of oil in the thing and it just had a mobile 1 change 1000 miles ago.

It's normal for the car to think it's time. To reset it, turn you key to on, but don't start the car. Then hold down the trip/oil reset button on your odometer for like 10 seconds, the oil light will go away until the computer thinks it's time again.
