You are resetting it incorrectly more than likely.

Have you changed your oil?

^good reminder, the light is coming on because if you had changed your oil every other time the light came on, itd be time again to change it, based on how many miles you've driven since the light was last reset.

It has nothing to do with whether you've changed your oil or not, it's a reminder light, it comes on after a set mileage interval no matter if you change the oil ever 10 miles, or if you haven't changed it in 100k.

You still have to manually reset the indicator. At least on my AP2.

I reset mine last night. It began flashing a few times while I was driving, so when I got home, I reset it. Easy as pie.
