Maint Required light is on??
Whats up all. My maintince (sp) required light comes on when i start my car and remains on for like 5 seconds. I know i'm well do for an oil change so could this be causing it?? If not, what else may cause it? Thanks alot

yes its probably the first time its come on huh?.. at about 8,000 miles or so should be the first time it comes on. yeah just get your oil changed if you need it. if not refer to your manual on how to shut it off..

Rep Power: 0 in the manual that comes with the car it says that the light will come on at 8,000 miles to 10,000 miles and when you bring it to the dealer for a tune up they will shut it off, i just broke 8,000 myself and it happened to me. it will happen again from 10,000 to 12,000 miles.
Tell me what you don't like about yourself....

Rep Power: 289 yea . . . its due for maintenance. when i went to my mechanic he said it was just a basic oil change and lubin up of certain parts on the car. nothing major. when its starts flashing it's warning you that it's due real soon. my mechanic reseted the maintenace thing. better get it done to b safe.

Rep Power: 0 I have a quick question about this too, my car was flashing the maint req'd light for a while, then all of a sudden my engine light came on, and it's still on. Could that be just because I am overdue for an oil change? I am really overdue, I think. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 but is it possible that because i left it for so long that the engine light came on? or do you think there is something wrong with the engine? Has anyone had a problem with their engine yet?
