are you wondering how to turn off your "maint. required" light off? if you are there have been lots of threads on this already. do a search in the general section. my guess is you have over 8k miles on your car and the light is just blinking at startup...

yeah that light has nothing to do with the oil changes or the filter. it is just there to remind you your 10k service is coming up. at 10k it will remain on. if you want to get rid of it you can do the search.
