I just had a oil change nearly 2 half weeks ago, not sure why this would be a issue
maybe they messed up something?

The Maintenance minder was never reset. But you still need the trans service and filters (cabin,air cleaner filter)

They forgot to reset the oil change minder.... They may also forgotten to have changed the oil also.... I would take it back to them, put them on the spot and make them prove to you that they actually did perform the service that you were told they had... You can get a good idea if the oil was changed or not by checking the level on the dipstick.. If it smells burned or like gasoline, is not semi transparent, or feels like it has very slight gritty feel to it you need to raise hell with them.

This is exactly the right forum for your question. Best of luck with it. By the way, who changed the oil? Was it a service station or an oil change franchise?

The minus 120 or 300 are the miles past due that will keep accumulating until you have your maintenence minder reset. Whoever changed the oil should have reset it but looks like they failed to do it. Your owners mannual tells you how to reset it if you need it done. The same thing happened to me during my last oil change at walmart.
