My change oil reset button on my 2002 Grand Am is in the fuse box by the drivers door. Turn the key on (so all dash lights are on), push the red reset button until the "change oil" flashes, then hold the button down until it clears from the dash. This should take care of it.

at 7000 you should definetly change oil, but depending on the make and model of your vehicle, to shut off of the check engine light will vary from a simple procedure in your owners manual, to having a obd 2 code detecter hooked up to identifie and delete codes

I have a 2009 Ford Escape XLT. I had an oil change at 1500 miles and have since driven 275 miles since the oil change. I have an oil change advisory allumination notification on the dash now. How do I...

This is how it works on my 2010 Escape. There are 3 buttons to the lower left of your steering column (Info, Setup, and Reset):
1) when it's displaying the "oil change required" message, hit the "reset" button to get rid of the message2) then hit the "Setup" button twice and you'll see the "oil life" screen, which is now at "0%". It tells you what to do next (i.e. "hold reset" until it says 100%).
