Thanks for taking the time to look at my post.

I was just driving the other night on the parkway and when I got to where I was going I happened to look at my cluster and the maintenance light turned yellow. Im roughly at 153k.

I didn't think the color light would change anymore after being so high in mileage.

If this is normal, what service is generally done at this point?

Thanks
Jp

Check the code and see what is wrong. FAQ.

No sorry thought I specified enough.

The little colored square on the spedometer. It's usually green. It turned yellow, so I just put my key in the slot and just reset it.

Is there any service really due at 153k?

Thanks

It turns yellow every 5000 miles after reset, and red at 7500 I believe. It's in your owners manual

Yea should've specified on that also

My manual is lost. Is there any required service at this time. Or does it do it for the hell of it. I know every 5000

The Helms' maintenance schedules only go out to 105k, so nothing special is required. Just stay with the standard 15,30,45k etc. service items.

That light is mostly to remind you to change your oil (recommended 7500 miles).

Re: (borat)
there are basically only oil changes, 15k (auto tranny fluid), 30k, and 90k services. just look up whatever multiple of those you are at. 150 would be 30k. which would like an air filter and oil and auto tranny fluid if you have it (and cabin filter for cars with them).
