Did you reset the light when you changed your oil?

I believe that the Maintenance Required light comes on every 7500 miles. As long as you are up to date on your maintenance, just reset it and be on your way.

To reset: Insert key in the ignition but do NOT turn on
Push and hold trip button
Turn key ALL the way ON without letting go of the trip button
Hold til gone.

Actually, I think it starts blinking at 6k and comes on without blinking at 7500
