Default "Replace engine oil soon" after 1200 miles only?!

I just changed the engine oil 3 weeks ago. I put Castrol Longtec super syn oil.

Why the above message is coming on the dashboard along with a warning sign after just three weeks and 1200 miles?

Does it require some sort of reset after every change?

Reset it in the Nav display and also by the Odo reset button method.

I searched the forum and found a thread on how to do the reset.

The light and message now are gone.

Thanks guys!
