Hello: Whoever changed the oil may not have reset the oil life indicator. Turn key on (engine off) push the accelerator all the way to the floor three times within 5 seconds. That should reset the oil life.

With the ignition
key in RUN but engine off, repeatedly push the trip reset button
until OIL is displayed on the driver info center. Once OIL is
displayed, push and hold the reset button for five seconds. The
number will disappear and be replaced by 100% of oil life remaining.
The percentage will return to 100 and oil life indicator will be
reset. Repeat steps if not reset to 100. Good luck
