So what does it do? It shows you you've gone another (say) 7500 miles since the last time it was reset!!

Correct. It just shows you've gone another 7500 miles since the last time you reset it. Which is a reminder to change your oil. Also if anything else falls within that service interval to maintainence that also. For example, belts, hoses, brake pads, wiper blades, etc. You'll have to inspect those items and if necessary, replace them. But many people (such as myself) don't go by that indicator. I have my oil changed every 2 months and change my brake pads every year.
