Misfire on highway crusing?
K i was just driving home from the store. I got on the highway and like 3 minutes later i noticed my Maint Reqd Light flashing (which means misfire). It was flashing for 4 or 5 seconds and went away. It didnt stay on so i dont think no codes was stored. SHould i be concerned?

Haven't I heard that it comes on every 7500 miles whether u need maintenance or not.Did the car actually misfire or did the light just come on and go off?

Maint Required light does not mean misfire. It means you may need to change the oil.

yep,dat is correct.Info should be in your owners manual.Search reset maintenance light after oil change or it can still come on even after u change your oil just because your reaching the service interval.
