lights goes on after certain # of miles. just a reminder to change oil, etc. you should be able to manually turn off the light by holding the "select" and "reset" trip buttons together. check the manual.

Its nothing more than a dummy light thats supposed to be reset after every oil change. Its designed to start flashing at start up then eventually go to staying solid at 7500.

Car off press and hold the trip and reset buttons. While continuing to hold them turn the key to the run position. hold the buttons till the light goes off (about 10 seconds)

I had tried it shortly afterwards... worked like a charm, and then some.
