Hi Olguta. Nice to see you today! I'm sorry to hear you are having this problem. I know this can be frustrating.
Please give me one moment to type out some information for you. Sit tight one minute... I'll be right back!
Thanks for holding, Olguta.
The service in 'x' days is the maintenance reminder. It is set to alert you when it is time to replace the engine oil and filter. When the engine oil and filter are replaced, the maintenance monitoring system will need to be manually reset by the service tech (the reset procedure is also included in your owner's manual in case the tech forgets to reset the system), to ensure that the monitoring system and the 'actual' oil change intervals are in sync.

Ok, I thought I need the oil change, but when I checked the papers it says that the oil was changed in November and the car was at the dealership since that.Well I guess I just need to change the oil and see how it's going to work.

More than likely here, the oil was replaced, however, the monitoring system was not manually reset. It happens all the time. Just make sure they manually reset the system on the next oil change.
