Turn the key on but the engine not running and pump the accelerator 3 times. It should reset.

Are you sure you actually reset the oil life monitor? Try the procedure again (as outlined in your owner's manual) and hold the button down a little longer. If that doesn't reset it to 100%, try the method described above.
