I don't know how to permanently stop the oil minder from doing its warning function. Here is how the Owner's manual describes resetting it:

Oil Change Indicator
Message
• If an “oil change” message (shown as CHAnGE OIL) appears and a single chime sounds, it is time for your next required oil change.

Resetting The Light After Servicing

Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go
• Without pressing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button and cycle
the ignition to the ON/RUN position (Do not start the engine.)
• Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
• Without pressing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button once to
return the ignition to the OFF/LOCK position.

Vehicles Not Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go
• Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (Do not start the engine.)
• Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.

LOL. I'd bet feature length Chrysler commercials are around the corner. You gotta love it.
