Default Oil Change Light

Got first oil change today. Light when on just over 3500 miles. I thought service interval was every 8000 miles. While I know the interval is not exact, I wonder why the light came on so early.

Oil change at dealer was quick and easy. A great ride.

Maybe that's the reason then? anyone know any particulars surrounding what makes the light turn on? besides mileage and maybe time? is there a sensor for how dirty the oil is?
