The oil change light will come on automatically after a set number of miles (possibly 7,000 for your car). Here's how to reset the oil light:
(a) Set the odometer display window to ODO with the button.
(b) Turn the ignition switch (key) off.
(c) Press and hold down the reset button, and then turn the key to the ON or ACC position. Keep holding down the reset button for at least 5 seconds after you've turned the key.
(d) The next time you start your car the warning light should be off.

This video explains the 3 simultaneous symptoms others have had and shows the process of how it's fixed. Hope this helps everyone who may run into this issue.
3 issues are:
the auto-transmission control linked to accelerator pedal might have changed its position.loosen the screw on the sliding lever,start the engine ,slowly slide the lever and once it started engaging set t/m about 900rpm.
Have the tranny serviced with fluid change and filter, if noise it still there it is the torque converter . Have the dealer fix it ,and have it on paper with dealer invoice when it is done. Do all this before warranty expires. IT IS NOT USUAL for any car, Toyota included, to have tranny whine!!!!!
