Which light on dashboard is used to indicate maintenance/service (such as oil change) reminder on 2004 KIA Optima LX/EX V6 ?

I checked the manual for any such light indicator on the dashboard of my 2004 KIA Optima LX/EX v6 and could not find any. I'm now wondering whether the "Check Engine Light" indicator is used to indicate maintenance/service reminders (if programmed) such as oil change etc. Will appreciate your (detailed answer/s with a detailed explanation if you will). Appreciate your response.

if the light says check engine it means that there is something wrong with engine or transmission like a sensor. Normally change oil soon will be a light that comes on when it time for that. but not all cars have it. If your manual doesn't say it then it probably doesn't have one. I see noting in our manual about reset procedures so your s maynot have a oil change light.
