Wow - that's harsh. The indicator is a wheel which measures the
amount of miles which have past since the last time the key was
inserted into the slot next to it. The key being your car key. It is
used to indicate when you should change your oil. Red of course
either means you hate your car or you didn't push the key into the
slot the last time you changed your oil. Yellow means, think about
getting an oil change.

You can get an owner manual and the best service manual available from

Hi,
It is not an indicator for trouble. it is just a reminder.
Can reset it with key as mentioned earlier.
