Yep, and the OP didn't mention what year he has.

1. Turn the key to the "ON" position, but don't start the engine.
2. Press the ENG/MET button on the Trip Monitor and release it. Then, within five seconds, press and release the ENG/MET button again.
3. Within five seconds, of Step 2
1990 – 1991 , press and hold the RANGE button on the Trip Monitor.
1992 -1996 , Press and hold the GAUGES button on the Trip Monitor.
4. The CHANGE OIL light will flash.
5. Hold the RANGE or GAUGES button until the CHANGE OIL light stops flashing and goes out. When the light goes out, the Engine Oil Life Monitor is reset. This should take about ten seconds.

If it doesn't reset, turn the ignition "OFF" and repeat the procedure.

Mine is a 96. I figured it was a pretty standard thing for the generation.
