Mine has done the same thing twice in the past 2,500 km. The first time it went off after maybe a week and a half.

I would change the oil anyways just to be safe, since you don't know when the last time it was done. The ECU won't know how many miles are on the oil though so you wont get a SES light from being overdue. If you bought it from a dealership it should have come with some sort of warranty, so if thats the case, take it back to them.
