Long story short...you're 11,300 miles overdue for a oil change!
I'm sure that the previous owner was doing the oil changes and just didn't know how to reset the FSS system!
From the Crossfire Service Manual:
The counter can also be reset by any individual after the indicated
service has been performed. To do so:
1. Turn the key to the ON/RUN position.
2. Within one second press the ****/button to the left of the display twice.
3. The present status for days remaining or distance traveled is displayed. Within ten seconds turn the key to OFF.
4. Press and hold the ****/button to the left of the display, while turning the key to ON/RUN again. The present
status for days remaining or distance traveled is displayed once more. Continue to hold the ****/button to the
left of the display.
After approximately ten seconds, a tone sounds and the display shows 6,000 miles (10,000 km) for approximately
ten seconds.
5. Release the ****/button to the left of the display.
If the FSS counter was inadvertently reset, the counter must be reset.
The message is displayed for approximately ten seconds when turning the key to the ON/RUN position, or while
driving when reaching the service warning threshold. It can be cancelled manually by pressing the ****/button to
the left of the display.
Once the suggested term has passed, the message, plus either the symbol for Service A or the symbol for Service
B preceded by a "–" (minus symbol) blinks for approximately thirty seconds and a tone sounds every time when
turning the key to the ON/RUN position.
The FSS display can also be called up for approximately ten seconds with the display illuminated by pressing the
****/button to the left of the display twice within one second.
