Default Ok sooo....dumb question

I just did my own oil change about 1k miles ago. Now for the last 2 days everytime I start my Jeep, it is flashing change oil. Is this set to a certain mileage or is it sensing something wrong with my oil. Also, how do I turn it off if it is for no good reason? Thanks. P.S. I feel like such a noob right now

Read the manual, there is something about turning the key to on (not start) then depressing the gas pedal three times within ten seconds, then turn off key. Should reset that oil message for another 3000 mi.

That's the one! I know I got the pedal part right but don't quite remember the exact key sequence...

FWIW, after doing the key thing, start the Jeep and see if it cleared.
Sometimes it has to be done a couple of times.

I don't turn mine off. I turn to "on", step on the gas a half dozen times then start it right up. Works every time.
