Maintenance required light
yesterday my maint Req'd light started flashing when i turn on my car. its got a little over 8100 miles and its still stock besides my shift **** which ive had for at least 4000 miles. it only blinks for a few seconds when i turn it on, about the time it takes me to put on my seatbelt + 2 flashes. my car still runs perfect and i changed the oil promptly at 6000 with castrol syntec blend any idea what this could be?

Quoting NoFriends:
Car off, hold the odometer button, turn key to "on" (dont start the car), wait 5-10 sec's and "Maintenance Required" light will be turned off. Start car or turn off.

its perfectly normal. it flashes for awhile then will stay on for good untill you turn it off. since you are in houston, come by and I will turn it off for you.
