Hey guys whats up,

A couple of days ago i noticed when i started my car my maintanence required light would blink for about 5 sec and then go away.. Well just last night when i started my car the light came on for good. this includes when i am driving around. i thought that light only signified that you needed to change your oil. Is it for something else.. I just changed my oil. i have 1600 miles on the 5w-30 Royal Purple. i looked at my dipstick and it shows it to be fine..

Any suggestion why it could be on.. Is there anyway to check what it is trying to tel me. Remember this is not the Check Engine Light but the MAINT REQIRD light.

Thanks

 

think you gotta reset your chip or something..that happen to me too....um usually its only suppose to come on every 5000 miles to remind you that you need to get a check up and oil change but yea :/ you can pull the plug for your battery then put it back on that might reset your chip..i forgot how to manually reset it but yep

 

You didn't mentioned if you reset the counter after the oil change. Look in the owner's manual for the steps to reset.

 

put the key in the acc position. hold the mileage button down, you will than see dashes appeari believe its 5 of them and they will dissapear one by one keep the button held down . thats how u reset it .

 

........ .. < Hey whats this....lol

 

hey he asked us so in theory..he is searching!!

 

obviously not. if he did he would of found the answer right away or known to look in the manual on what the gauges mean.

 

Yep 100% covered in the owners manual.

 

i am not asking how to reset it. i am not a dumbass. i know how to do that. i reset 1600 miles ago when i did the oil change. why is it coming back on. i checked to dipstick and oil is fine.

 

You probably blew the welds on the intake.

 

did you by an intake?

 

most definetly signals your muffler bearings need greasing.

 

...or you need some headlight fluid...lol

 

yikes!.....tough crowd lols

 

apparently you accidentally changed the interval to less than the default. That is not covered in the manual, but you can do it. Just reset it again per the instructions, then do it again when you do your next oil change so it will be correct again.

 

ahahahahaaha headlight fluid

 

i ran into this before... its the fetzer valve...

 

Hmmm... Perhaps we should show some grace to those who need it?

Just a thought...

 

that wouldnt be any fun lol jk
