Have an 07 v-6 limited with about 4900miles on it. Changed the oil at about 2000. Planned on changing again at about 6000 or about 4,000 usage. Starting this AM the message center warns me that it is about time to chage oil. Does this everytime I crank up. Is there a way set this so that I do not see it everyu time I crank up or am I going to hve to put up with it each time the odometer hits multiples of 5000.

There should be a way to reset it when you change the oil. There has been in every car I've owned that had a change oil light. Check the owner's manual.
 
To reset the oil monitoring system to 100% after each oil change

[approximately 5,000 miles (8,000 km) or 180 days] perform the

following:

1. Enter SYSTEM CHECK to display

“HOLD RESET IF NEW OIL”.

2. Press and hold the RESET

control switch for more than 2

seconds. Oil life is set to 100% and

“OIL LIFE SET TO 100%” is

displayed.

Note: To change oil life 100% miles value from 5,000 miles (8,000 km)

or 180 days to another value, refer to the Oil Life Start Value selected

from the SETUP MENU in this section.
 
Oil Life Start Value

1. Select this function from the

SETUP MENU for the current

display mode.

2. Press and hold the TRIP/RESET

control switch to reset oil change.

3. Press the TRIP/RESET control

switch for the next SETUP MENU item or wait for more than 4 seconds

to return to the INFO MENU.

Note: Oil Life Start Value of 100% equals 5,000 miles (8,000 km) and

180 days. Setting Oil Life Start Value to 60% sets the Oil Life Start Value

to 3,000 miles (4,828 km) and 120 days.
