flashing wrench question

Hi
when i start the car i get the flashing wrench with the -32 (or what ever)
I guess the car thinks that it needed a service 32 miles ago.
I changed the oil and filter at the local oil change place myself (with thanks to instructions in this group). I did this at about 2K, 6 months or so into the cars life.

My question is, does the service at 2400 miles or so include more than an oil change (and maybe i should drop it of at mercede$$$$), or do i simply need to reset the wrench indicator?

TIA

Service indicator will flash at 10K miles or one year (whichever comes first).
First service is oil/filter and AC cabin filter. Everything else is just basic check up (check the fluids, hoses, brakes, etc.).
Here is instructions on how to reset the light from Evilution site. You might want to try it several times. It worked for me on third or forth try. :-)
