Maintenance Indicator Question

[jamie392]

I bought an 04 x5 about 3 months ago and really am unsure about how this maintenance indicator works. I figured when it needs an oil change, the oil service light will illuminate right? Nothing is staying illuminated after I turn on the car, all the lights go out, so does that mean I should be in the clear? I would think it would have needed an oil change by now...

Also, it seems like LED's on either side on the indicator are going out. Logically I figured that the LED's would start on the left side and slowly go out working there way to the right... But there is 3 LEDs out on the left side, and two more on the right side...

The last question I have is, if I get the oil changed early, lets say 2000 miles early, will they reset the computer so that in 2000 miles the light doesn't illuminate?

Sorry for these very basic question, but I just really feel like I should be doing some maintenance on this truck at least an oil change and it hasn't called for anything yet. So I'll ask this question here so that I don't wonder on the back of my mind if I'm missing an oil change or something.
