It is set manually. Check your Owner's Manual.

Your car is not a Mercedes or BMW; it does not actually sense oil
condition. It computes oil life by considering mileage plus driving habits
and ambient temperatures.

And changing your oil early is *NEVER* a problem. The earlier the better.
the Minder is there for those lazy slobs who would otherwise be tempted to
take it to 10 or 15K.
