I believe that is just an oil change reminder that has to be reset when the oil is changed.

OK, I just looked it up and it's a malfunction indicator for the PCM so there should be stored trouble codes that you can have retrieved for free at Autozone or Advanced auto parts. Post the code numbers here.
