The change oil message takes into account not only the miles but the type of use the car has been through. Lots of high temperature stop-and-go driving or other severe service will call for an oil change sooner. Pull out the dipstick and take a look at the oil. If it's dark and dirty looking, it might be time for a change. Another possibility is that they just failed to reset the cycle last time it was changed.
