Check engine light at 8000 miles?

Whenever I start my car, my maintenence required light blinks for about 5 seconds ... it started happening right after I hit 8000 miles ... any ideas? I probably should just take it to a dealer or something ... ?

no, you should read your manual.

hold the trip reset button and turn on your car

ya, it is basically telling you to change your oil, but if you do it on your own or have it down somewhere other then the honda dealer, then just reset it.
