Sensor warnings come on after oil change
I recently received an oil change and now two sensor warning lights remain on all the time I had this happen several times before and was able to turn them off by pressing some of the switches on the steering wheel, but I forgot the specifics: which switches, how many times pressed, etc. I would really appreciate an answer to this question, as it gets very annoying after every oil change. Thanks in advance!

(agreed) probably the OLM needs reset.

I recently found out that even on the "new" TPMS system you DO NOT have to relearn, I had thought that I would get a SVC TPMS light. I was wrong.
One could read their Owner Manual to find out how to reset the Oil Life Monitor.

My apology for the mistake on "relearning" the TPMS, tripped over my brain.
Now if the OP isn't referencing the OLM, changing the oil shouldn't trigger anything like a CEL unless it's already triggered by a stored code/codes.

Unless he changes it before it is due, then the "change oil soon" will come on when it's time to. But then, he may be talking about his 2013 Bentley from all of the info given. He did not specifically say CEL.

If the OP is talking about resetting the OLM, here is the
"How to press them switches on the steering wheel"
How to Reset the Engine Oil Life
System
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to change
your engine oil and filter based on vehicle use.
Whenever the oil is changed, reset the system so it can
calculate when the next oil change is required. If a
situation occurs where the oil is changed prior to
a CHANGE OIL SOON message being turned on, reset
the system.
After changing the engine oil, the system must be reset:
1. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN, with the engine off.
2. Press the information and reset buttons on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) at the same
time to enter the personalization menu. See DIC
Vehicle Personalization on page 4-54.
3. Press the information button to scroll through the
available personalization menu modes until the
DIC display shows OIL-LIFE RESET.
4. Press and hold the reset button until the DIC
display shows ACKNOWLEDGED. This will tell you
the system has been reset.
5. Turn the key to LOCK/OFF.
For vehicles with the 2.2L (VIN Code V) or
2.4L (VIN Code B) engines, you can also reset the
system as follows:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON/RUN with the engine off.
2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal slowly
three times within five seconds.
3. Turn the key to LOCK/OFF, then start the engine.
If the CHANGE OIL SOON message comes back
on when the vehicle is started, the engine oil life system
has not reset. Repeat the reset procedure
