no maintance isnt really really needed, they are just suggesting it, there is an article on team-integra on how to reset it.

my integra doesn't have that light, but the Haynes says that for Legends, it comes on yellow when nearing 7500 miles, then red after 7500 [since last service].

to type up a list of all the things to do at what intervals...I doubt anyone is going to wear their fingers out. just pick up a manual, it'll be well worth it in the long run.

The song is Hoobastank - Same direction
So you guys think i should just take it into honda/acura dealer and have them do their 'tune up' ? Or just flip it off, im at 35,xxx miles so does anybody know what the 'tune up' would be?

Cool, I thought it was them I dont think you need to take it to the dealership unless you really think there might be something wrong. If you have kept up with maintenance and such, there shouldnt be anything wrong with the car. You might wanna take it in for a tune-up or for peace of mind.

tune-up would be like new spark plug wires, spark plugs, distributor cap, etc. if you dont need those now then u dont need a tune-up
