Did you reset the oil life system when you changed the oil on your driver info center?

Your owners manual shows that the procedure should be 3 times in 5 seconds. This is what the manual says word for word.

To reset the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message, turn the
ignition key to RUN with the engine off. Fully press and
release the accelerator pedal three times within five
seconds. If the CHANGE ENGINE OIL message flashes
for five seconds, the system is reset.

I hope this information helps you.
