    What happened was when you got ur oil changed they didn't reset the light...
    all u need to do is cycle through to the ODO..hold down the button, turn car off, turn car back ON (not start), 5 lines will flash, continue to hold the button until all lines are gone and your are reset..

    You can make the light come on every 3K by letting out the button when there are three dashes when doing what chyz-dad described. Changing every 3K is unnecessary, oils and engines have advanced a whole lot since the time that they came up with the 3K number.

    Toyota told me that Scion's oil changes are every 5K and that's what I do.

    If you had one shot, or one opportunity
    To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
    Would you capture it or just let it slip?

    I think I'd rather keep my car clean inside. But is it free if I do the oil change in toyota? Since it's under warranty?
