Default Maintenance Light

This probably dumb but sitting at work so I thought I would ask. My maintenance light stays flashing after I start the car for a few seconds after all the other lights have shutoff after initial startup. Is this because the last person to change the oil didn't reset the timer??? Also is there a list of engine codes on this website anywhere? Thanks for putting up with my ignorance...

Does this technically reset the countdown on Wisconsin's list?

It's telling you're getting close to the next maintenance interval (based upon when it was last reset, ~7500 miles ago). Soon it will come on and stay on until it gets reset.
