The light came on. I knew already its time for me to get an oil change. I plan on getting the oil changed this coming weekend. So for now i just added oil. How do i turn the light out?
I removed several fuses that I thought might be related to the mass air flow sensor in the engine compartment fuse box. I'm not sure which fuse it was, but the service engine light went off (not the change oil light, but the little engine shaped light above).
If my memory is correct, that light has nothing to do with the maintance of the car, have the car scanned for trouble codes at your local big name parts store, then get back to me with the codes, dis-connecting the battery will not clear the light, get back to me with the code or codes and we'll go from there.

Hello.
To reset the computer to where it will shut that light off, you have to removed the battery terminals for 15-20 minutes and them put them back on. That brings the computer to a reset making it start off new again, so basically it will think it had a new oil change and everything. Hope this helps!

How to Reset the Change Oil Light
After changing the engine oil, the system must be reset.
With the ignition key to ON, push the RESET button
located in the driver's side instrument panel fuse block. The
CHANGE OIL light will start to flash, press and hold the
RESET button again. The reset is complete when you hear
the chimes sound and the CHANGE OIL light goes out.
