Default 06 RSX base "Main't Required" light on

Anyone know what could have caused this? Its an 06 with roughly 22k on it , I commute to and from school / work. I don't drive it too hard, but not like a puss either lol. If anyone knows possible problems or easy fixes let me know.

if you do the oil change personatly u could turn the light off by your self check the manual book that comes well if u have it it always comes when u buy a car, it would explain step by step how to turn it off,

so you guys don't think its a serious problem then? I'm not due for oil, transmission fluid should be good, I don't know its just scary seeing that light so early.

i work at an acura dealership. they dont think anybody is stupid, and they dont try to trick anybody ether. They try to keep idiots from work on there own car and ******* something up. After they completely screw it they come to the dealer and say we fucked it up, last time there car was at the dealer

and i dont know if you mistakenly went to a BMW dealer because every 10k service sure as hell does not cost $250...

HAVE A NICE DAY "DUMB ASSES"
