Then as I started the car again the car had a maintainance required light was flashing, but then disappears when I start driving I have only 6000 miles roughly and The car has been running fine... I am curious if maybe I need an oil change due to the reason that I left the car in the garage for a month due to a vacation... Any ideas what it could be can it be serious jus curious... I have an autox tomorrow jus wanna be sure it is safe to ruin kinna hard on the car...

That's the car's way of reminding you about periodic maintenance. Doesn't mean anything is wrong with the car. The check engine light is for that. If you are going to change the oil, you might want to also change the diff/tranny fluid as the first few thousand miles can be rough on all 3. I'll be changing over to Mobil 1 in my 05 berlina in about 1000 miles and will then also change the diff and tranny fluids.

I believe the maintenace light comes on a little before 7500 miles as did my car.Don't remember exactly, but it did come on a little before.

Definitely. Don't change fluids out prematurely.
