Yes, there is a OIL MAINT REQ'D warning that will display in your center information display. Once you hit the 5k mark, the red exclamation will stay lit until it's reset. Prior to the 5k mark, a warning message will pop up to remind you that your oil maintenance is coming up.

To reset this, it is located in p.381 Section 4-3 of the DIY Maintenance section of your owners manual.

Your owners manual is a wealth of knowledge. You should really get to know it as it will answer a lot of simple questions with the operation and maintenance of your GS.
