it's just a reminder for maintenance for the forgetful... It's more of an annoyance than a help for most people though.

no, u dont really need to take it in. There is a lil button that you will feel under your dash.....if you put the key in the ignition with it towards on but dont start it, jus thit the button till it goes out......Very easy to reset!

The light doesn't know if you need to change your oil or not. As others have stated, it comes on at set mileage intervals.

You manually shifting your automatic has no effect on the maintenance light. The procedures to reset the light are located in the owner's manual. But basically, you just need to hold a switch thats located above your pedals in the car.
The only light that flashes for a transmission problem is if the D4 flashes on your tach.
