Every time I start my car the maint. reqird. light flashes a couple times then turnes off?? What the hell?

 

it is set to go off around every 7000-7500 miles, since that is your scheduled oil change. nothing is wrong with your car. there is a button under the dash to turn it off. i can't remember how but i think you turn the key to the on position and hold the button until it goes off.

oild change? the maintence required light is for your regular maintence. check your manual for maintence schedule. dunno how amny miles you have but the manual should tell you. but for oil change i dont think you wanna wait that long to change your oil. i change mines every 3000 miles.

but yes he is rite about the button to reset the light. (its under the dash kinda below the steering column. i think its a *EDIT* BLUE button)

It's actually a blue button in the shape of a square. It should be right above where your right leg would be under the dash.

Hold it down and turn the car on... (don't start it).

Then turn it back off after holding it for a few seconds....and it should be gone again.
