Default oil change/resetting issue?

about a month ago my car stated 200 miles, then 100 miles, then 0 miles then -100 miles then -200 miles then -300 miles and so forth.

(the odometers not going backwards, but my car was giving warnings?)

and i went and had an oil change yesterday (-600 miles) at 112$ GAH! new oil new filter.

my question is shouldn't the warnings have gone away? its now -700 miles (i havent even driven 100 miles since -600). how do you reset it? if its not oil, what else is it complaining about?

thanks guys.


also, i told them 0w-40 and they were all like "yeah b/c its benz motor" and sounded like they knew what they were doing; but on my receipt it said 0w-20 (i think thats for honda? not sure) i dont even know if the guy just messed up on the receipt or what not. geez. everything is so complicated.
