MAINT REQ'D light question...
Yes. I know what it means. It's the "Time to change your oil cuz I said so" light. Question is, though, is this light an actual oil monitor light or is it just set to click off every 3K or 5K or whatever K miles on the odometer?
I changed my oil last time it clicked on and used synthetic. Like clockwork it seemed, 5K miles later, it started blinking and then just stared at me. I used the same reset procedure to turn the light off and it hasn't come back on yet. This makes me think that it isn't an actual oil life monitor, just a "take to stealership so they can rip you for an oil change" light. Any input?  Pix for clix. -SAV
