Default OIL CHANGE MESSAGE.

I rolled over 2500 miles on my car yesterday and the first time I started it after that, the EVIC gave me the Change Oil Message and chime. The owners manual says that the oil should be changed in the next 500 miles after getting the message the first time. Also, the message and chime will occur after each start until the service is performed. I was wondering if anyone else received the message this soon. It says that the oil change is decided by driving styles not by the amount of miles or time. I normally change oil every 3000 miles. I was just wondering if this was about normal for what others are seeing. Also, the manual says that whoever does the service should reset the message by turning on the ignition without starting the car and slowly depressing the accelerator three times and then shutting off the ignition.
