Hold the select and reset buttons down and turn the key two clicks, watch the light, it will click off.

Like Mrsteve said, Search button is your friend

First off

The light comes on for 2 seconds when the car starts
After 5000 (I think) miles it will then flash for 8 additional seconds when the car starts then go off
After 7500 miles it will come on and stay on until it gets reset

doesn't mean much, just have it reset the next time you get your oil changed, until then dont worry about it

It's just an in your face reminder to have maintenance work done. If it was reset every time you had your oil changed you would never see it on.

the light means your car is about to blow up, the engine is busted, and your dog ran away.
