It's just a reminder light, try this to put it out, turn the key to on, but dont start it, press the gas pedal down fast three or four times (some it's three, other four.) then start the car, the reminder should go out.

Try this and get back to me. CHANGE ENGINE OIL LIGHT RESET - PROCEDURE 3 1. The CHANGE OIL (or CHANGE ENGINE OIL) message is displayed when its time to change engine oil, usually between 3000 and 7500 miles since last oil change. 2. To reset the engine oil life monitor, turn ignition on with engine off. Press and release the RESET button. RESET button is located inside of driver's side instrument panel fuse block/panel (left end of instrument panel). The CHANGE OIL/CHANGE ENGINE OIL light will begin to flash. Press and hold the RESET button again. Reset procedure is complete when chimes sound and light goes out.
