You need an OBII scanner to reset oil service light... BUT... Autozone, Advance, etc any good parts store can do it for you for FREE (or you can buy the scanner for future about $60)
All cars are different but most don't require a scan tool to reset the reminder. If it doesn't say how in your owners manual call a ford dealer. Most good dealership service fepartments will tell you over the phone and not tell you to make an appointment. If all else fails call a local jiffy lube or something, they reset them all day long.
