Was the oil change done?

The light will flash if the light was not reset at the time of the change.
to reset:
1-put the key in the acc position with the odometer showing.
2-turn the key to the on position. hold the trip meter reset button until the odometer shows "000000", takes about 5 seconds.

thanks for the suggestion. I did the oil change only one month back. But at that time, the mechanic said that I need to change the Power Steering Fluid. Is this the reason for the flashing

Thanks

Did you do the reset that I just wrote. The light needs to be reset.

What does your power steering fluid look like?
An no that isn't the reason.
