Default Oil Maint. Req. - Oil is above 2nd dot

Within the last 2 weeks, my "Oil Maint. Req. Soon" light came on. I checked the oil and it said it was above the 2nd dot by about a centimeter. I bought the car at 69,200 miles. It is now at 71,200 miles. I checked with the dealership and they said the oil (conventional) was changed at 69,157, 6-7 quarts.

Any idea why the "Oil Maint. Req." light is now on?

Thank you

Just reset it, not a big deal.

Your answer is because the person who changed your oil didn't reset the oil indicator light to turn it off. It's a manual operation explained here:
