Default 2008 accord oil light

I got my oil changed when a wrench and 15% oil life appeared on my dash. the light wont go off and now it says 5% oil life. does it need to be reset at the dealership?

If you had it changed at the dealer, they should have reset the maintenance minder. However, you can do it yourself, as it is shown in the owner's manual:

its on a millage timer, not a sensor.

there is a different sequence on the 07+ Hondas that most non-dealer oil change places don't know how to do.
there is a guide in the owners manual that shows how to reset the timer
