It automically goes off and needs to be reset after each oil change. I would have to get the owners manual to tell you how to turn it off as I can never remember.

To reset oil light do the following;
Turning off the change oil light
1) Turn the ignition "ON", but do start the engine.
2) Press the "ENG/MET"button and release, then, within 5 seconds, press it again.
3) Within 5 seconds of step 2, press and hold the "GAUGES" button. While the button is held, the "change oil" indicator will flash.
4) Continue holding the "GAUGES" button until the "change oil" indicator stops flashing and goes out, indicating successful completion of the reset cycle. This should take about 10 seconds. If it does not successfully reset, turn the ignition "OFF" and repeat the procedure from step 1.
