Learn to change your own oil. It's incredibly easy to do. I'm not handy at all and I can do it.

Usually oil change doesn't beep continuously, only once when you get going. If the oil is low however, the car does start complaining and you should not drive further than the next gas station.

I'm surprised (although I probably shouldn't be) at how many people are apparently commenting before reading the other comments. The OP has made several follow ups making it clear that: 1. His car has a computer to tell him the oil needs changing, the oil was NOT low, people. 2. It was Easter Sunday so nothing was open. He couldn't even buy oil to change it himself. 3. He regularly maintains the car and this warning came on early, before 3000 miles was up since the last change so it was a surprise. Sorry for the rant but it really gets up my nose when people comment and go on about how the OP deserves it etc well after several good follow ups that invalidate their opinion and just makes them look like idiots. /rant

Why didn't you stop to get it changed in all those 200 miles? It doesn't take long at all...

Haha I've done that before. Thankfully my car isn't annoying like yours :)

I am an auto technician not a "mechanic" and yes there is a difference. I work on many different cars everyday and have yet to see one that constantly beeps unless there is an issue that can potentially damage the vehicle (not saying there isn't one out there just that I haven't seen one) most maintenance minders go off a few seconds after the car is started and won't return until it is started again. About the oil black oil is not a good indication of it needing to be changed as some oils will pick up contaminants and turn black as soon as you start the car that's more of an indication of poor maintenance (unless its diesel that's common to be black). And while going an extra 200 miles on an oil change probably didn't hurt it it's highly not recommended as currently there is no way to tell if the oil has lost its lubricating abilities without sending it to a lab. Running an engine with bad oil over time causes all the holes and passageways to sludge up and particles and trash not picked up by the filter damage bearings and other important parts of the motor. So in short keep you cars well maintained and follow the schedule set in place by the manufacturer and your car will live a long and happy life

In the truck the wires are degrading so it says door ajar even though they're all closed so every 20 seconds you hear ...DIING.

im surprised you have a car left after 200 miles

Amazing to see how many ignorant "think they know it all" people got on OP's case over something so simple...how about all you know it alls & daughters/sons of mechanics just not even comment. 200 miles isn't going to damage the engine. These computers base knowledge is for 3,000 miles...most engine oils can actually withstand an additional 2,000 miles without destroying the engine (unless you're using that really cheap stuff or the stuff labeled as "recycled"....then I'd be worried)
