If you wait too long and it stays on, the dealer will void your warranty.

It is just a reminder that the 3000 mile oil change is coming up.

Once you have passed the 3000 it will stay one.

Take somewhere and have the oil changed and they will reset it for you.

okey i see everyone else is not really giving you any answer, so here i go. Wait untill your maintanence light goes on permanently. Then before you start the car push in and hold that **** thats on the gauge cluster, the one for the miles and **** not the one for the ilumination of your gauges. well after you pushed it in keep holding it. Now start the car and keep kolding the know until the light dissapears. done.
