reset "oil change message"
Anyone know how to reset the indicator that says, " change oil" on text display. Oil was changed at 10,000 and milage is 11,800. I believe they must have forgot to reset it. This message appears when I turn the key on, I can pull it off by pushing the upper most button on right side of display, do not remember the name of this button.

Just reset it and do the scheduled oil change from that date and then be sure to reset it when they change the oil again. That will get you back on schedule...it won't know that it was changed 5 months ago...no.

Since you have driven 1800 miles on the last oil change, assume that you have used 50% of the life (overkill but better safe than sorry) so do not go below 50% oil life or 7 month before your next change.
BTW, all of this is in the owner's manual.

If the system is ever reset accidentally, you must
change your oil at 3,000 miles (5 000 km) since your
last oil change. Remember to reset the oil life system
whenever the oil is changed.

Since you don't know the actual life remaining at this point on your new oil follow the guidance above and change it out in around 1200 to 1500 miles. Once you change it again, just make sure you reset the monitor.
