Default Oil change indicator

I just got my first one around 7500. When does the next one come on? Does it come on every 7500?

Thanks

This is from the 2012 Owner's Manual:

"The engine oil change
indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate dependent upon
your personal driving style."

This is how to reset it:

"1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Do not
start the engine.
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three times
within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not
reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure."
