Oil gauge - how long until it resets?

I had my oil changed today (not by Acura), and after driving 10 miles the gauge still says "<20%" in the dash. How long until this updates? Has anyone seen this not update after an oil change?

Thanks.

That's silly.. Sort of defeats the purpose.. Thanks, I was ready to be really pissed if the answer was "Only Acura can reset that, you are supposed to goto the dealer for service.." or something along those lines..

Here's the full procedure:

To reset the display:

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON

2. Press the < or > button repeatedly until the oil life is displayed.

3. Press and hold the Select/Reset button for 10 seconds. The Multi-Information Display will ask for a confirmation.

a. If you are sure you want to reset the display, press the Select/Reset button for 10 seconds again.

b. If you do not want to reset the display, press the < or > button to select “Cancel”
