Hey fellas,

Have about 14,500 miles and the "Maintenance Requ'd" light flashes for a few seconds after starting the car. Any ideas? Thanks.

I think it is just a reminder for maintenance based on the odometer.

You should find some more info in that link. There is also a useful link to other DIY articles in that thread as well.

 

Thanks, I needed to know that!

 

Also in case that procedure doesn't work, it is covered in the owners manual under reseting the maintenance required light too.

 

Thanks!

 

It's just a reminder Ray, it looks like it worked too. Time to get the oil changed and everything looked at.

 

Thanks Chris. I just changed the oil. I have never changed the diff fluid. I bought the car with 9,000 on it so I don't know what was done before it got to me but probably nothing. Should I go ahead and change the diff fluid?

 

It wouldn't hurt to do the Diff fluid. The 1st fluid change on the diff usually hasd pretty contaminated oil from break in. I changed mine at 12k.
