"change engine oil now" notice
my FEH has 8k miles on it. Had an oil change at 5k. This morning i got the "change engine oil now" notice. Is this more of a mileage/age predetermined notification that I can safely turn off/ignore, or is it the result of some active monitoring of my engine that has determined my oil is actually in need of a change?
I can look at the manual tonight, just wanted some piece of mind while at my work computer so I don't obsess over this for the rest of the day
thanks.

My guess is that who ever changed your oil at 5k didn't complete the job and with that, reset the computer. You are now getting that message because the computer "thinks" you never changed your oil yet.
There is no "advanced monitoring" of the oil itself.

Mine was never reset by the dealer when I had mine changed, you use the message center to run a diagnostic, then hit set when it gets to the oil change diagnostic to reset it.

Cool. Thanks. Did the same thing...got an oil change at 5k, and got the message at around 10k. Figured the dealer forgot to reset it. Didnt know how to do it myself.
