I know there is some sort of ritual like turning on the key to aux and pressing the odometer button but my fiddling is not working.

As you HOLD the odometer down turn the key to on until it blinks "---------" across the odometer and it will go out.

the service engine light should have nothing to do with an oil change. If it says service required then it is something that should be reset after the service is performed. But a service engine light is usually an emmisions problem from as little as a loose gas cap to an oxygen sensor. There is a big difference between service required and service engine. If it says service engine then you should go to auto zone or if they cant hook up to foreign cars then go to the dealer but expect to pay around $50 at the dealer while auto zone will do it for free.

The service engine light may mean more than needing an oil change. Did you have someone actually check the computer to see what the issue was? If you prefer not to, you can reset it by unhooking the battery for 60 seconds then reconnect it. that resets the whoel system. Be advised, if there is an actual fault with the engine, you could do damge to it by ignoring the light. Your call.

When the service engine light on my dad's subaru came on he had to take it to a subaru dealer to get it turned off (which is why it's still on). I think it is preset to come on at a certain mileage level to make you go get a checkup at the dealer.

You need to have the dealer reset the switch. Next time, have the oil change done at the dealer (its not that expensive) and they will re-set it.
