That's all you have to do... it should go off.

If it blinks it means MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED FOR YOUR CAR! After a while, it'll just stay on until you or the dealer or whoever does the maintenance on your car turns it off. It seems to appear every 10,000.

Did you change your oil or the dealer did?? If you did, it will blink because they have a special tool or some s..t to turn it off. It doesn't mean anything, and if you do what WannaBFast said, it goes away. It's just another thing to make you go to the dealer and ripp your a.. off.

Does anyone read the F***** owners manual? Theres so much info in that book that can answer so many questions. Infact it even explains why the light starts to blink at 8000 miles.
