The maint required light is just a milage counter to remind you to change the oil. The "Check Engine" light is the serious one.

You may want to read the manual... if you do a search on this sight there are instructions on how to reset the "Maint Req" light yourself. There is probably a DIY in the Under the hood section... looks like the links are dead, here it is though,....

"Approximately every 7000 Miles the maintenance required light will appear on your dash. It is very easy to shut the light off or cancel it.

1. Put key in ignition
2. Push trip reset button, continue to hold button for 10 seconds
3. Turn key to next position
4. Hold button for approximately 10 seconds or until light stays off.


The secret is holding the reset button and turning the key to the next position. It does not specify that in the manual

Thanks Wajiro for the post, and CaptainMike for the great response. You both just saved me a trip to a shop today. I bought an '05 about 6 months ago, and mine also did not come with a user manual. I'm just over the 23K mark , and I am wondering, what sorts of routine maintenance should be done and about how often. Oh and also, how many freakin "secret compartments" are in this thing?

Oh, the beloved Secret Compartment!!

I'm over by UCF and the best place to go is First Class Auto down Colonial by the Fashion Square Mall (across the street, right next to Red Lobster). The guys there are awesome, and you'll get to see all the modded NSX's they're working on!
