39,377 miles and a blinking MRL...hmmmm...
Is this normal? Of course two things are true as I write this: 1) My owner's manual is at work, so I can't just look it up, and 2) I've never had the odo to 39,377 miles before, so no experience there.
As the subject indicates, I received a rapid succession of *blinks* on my Maintenance Required Light this evening coming home. Probably 10 blinks...but didn't count 'em all. Checked the odo at the moment it began blinking and that was the reading...39,377.
Now I know that I receive various "pre-warning" MLRs at various times, but I've never *caught* a blinking one during driving thus far (very possible that it has happened before...but I've just never noticed it -- tonight it was dark, other times could have happened in the daylight, etc.). I've seen the blinking light warn me when I start the car at appropriate "pre-warning" durations...as well as remain lit until reset, etc.). So if I've experienced all this other MLR stuff, you might be asking "why am I asking now?" Well, it blinked as I described above just as I rounded a hard left turn this evening and had my foot deeply into the accelerator ...so I guess I just wanna make sure that the light didn't blink as a result of the conditions involved in my aggressive cornering...but rather that it was just a matter of ironic timing that I happened to be turning hard a the same time as the odo moved to a "pre-warning" alert status for the MLR.
Thanks in advance for letting me know what's what here.
BTW, my oil level is fine.
