The dashboard oil change-reminder light is calibrated to turn on 7,500 miles after it was last re-set- and it should be re-set at each oil change. This is probably a good mileage to change 'standard' motor oil and filter. However, if you use so-called 'high-mileage' synthetic oil, you can probably get at least 10,000 miles between oil and filter changes UNLESS you drive in severe climates or under severe conditions.
I own a 2006 Toyota Highlander and the oil change is recommended every 5,000 miles or every 6 months whichever comes first.

It's telling you to change the oil.
