You should get a Maint. Soon message at 4500 miles, then the service required one at 5000.

How to reset it is in your owners manual (and probably the FAQ here)

You are correct, this question has been asked and answered many times. The search function is your friend.

so the answer is every 5000 miles the light on, and to reset the light have to be on, no early oil change.
i have search but didnt find answer.

The light comes on when the internal counter reaches X miles.

I suspect anytime you perform the reset procedure, regardless of if the light is already on or not, it resets that counter to 0.

As I said how to reset it is in your owners manual and the FAQ.
