Yes, get codes read and then take the car to a diagnostic shop if you don’t have any mechanical knowledge.

Ditto on scanning for codes, but in the mean time toggle the DIC to oil life percentage, since may be that the last time the oil was changed if less then 1 year or 12K miles, percentage was not reset, and warning you that it thinks it time for an oil change.
