means its time for an oil change, tire rotation, or possibly your 30,000 mile maintenance.

This is normal it just is a reminder light for service. It just needs to be reset & how to do that is in the owners manual. I forget the steps on how to do it off the top of my head. Its very easy to reset it just push a few buttons. Its just a reminder light nothing is wrong with your car.

I think we answered the question. Just a reminder light to change your cars oil. As for resetting it until you get around to it, Check out the post "TL-S Tips I've Learned" one of the posts tell you how to do it.
