1. Turn the ignition switch to ON ( II ).

2. Press the SELECT/RESET knob until the engine oil life indicator
is displayed.

3. Press the SELECT/RESET knob for about 10 seconds. The engine oil life indicator and the maintenance item code (s) will blink.

4. Press the SELECT/RESET knob for more than 5 seconds. The maintenance items code (s) will disappear, and the engine oil life indicator will reset to "100".

The oil warning light indicates no oil pressure, changing the oil would not affect the light. You should not drive the car if this light is on, because if it is operating correctly, you will ruin your engine. The car should be checked immediately, and not driven until the cause of the light being on is determined.
good luck, and let me know the outcome. countrycurt0
