I just had my oil changed & the oil light came on an hour later & stayed on. Is there a reset to this?

Hello,

This vehicle is not equipped with an oil change reminder light. It is likely either low oil or oil pressure light.
First check the oil level. Low oil level can trigger that light.

This vehicle uses five quarts of oil. Make sure that the correct amount got added after the oil change.
Also, you might want to look for any leak. If the drain plug or the filter is loose it will leak out oil and the light will be illuminated.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
