then just reset the light.. if you did it yourself, you probably didn't reset it.. or a shop didn't reset it.. its simple.. check owners manual..

Mine came on today and scared me for a second. lol Is there a certain way to change the intervals it comes on? I got my oil changed about 2-3 weeks ago, but would like it to come on when I'm supposed to get it changed again.

The light is automatic and I doubt it can be changed. All you have to do to reset it is hold on to both the mileage reset button and the a and b mileage option button, then u have to turn the car on while still pressing both buttons and continue for like 10 secs till it turns off. That's probably about the only thing I know how to do on my car. Lol jus kiddin
