It usually means you need an oil change. If you have the records, check to see when was the last time it had an oil change. Read your owner's manual, it will tell you all about it and how to reset it.

No need to panic. This light comes on automatically when your car hits certain mileage. Even if you changed your oil yesterday, the light would still come on when it hits a certain mileage. This is not the same as your "Check Engine" light, which comes on when other specific problems occur. As "AcuraTL" said, you can check your owners manual to see how to reset this light, but since the light came on, you need to ask yourself: Do I need to change the oil or do other service that is required at this mileage?
