Well the maint. req'd light goes off every 7,000 I believe.....to remind you that you have your next oil change coming up, as suggested in the S2000 manual... I dont wait that long. I usually change my oil every 4000 miles..

This is the first time mine has ever gone off. It came on just before 15k.

I usually change my oil every 3-4,000 miles also. It can't sense an oil change can it?

No, I know it can't, I have changed my oil since the light came on.

You guys are silly!


I always have to break out the manual when the light comes on, too. There should be a less cryptic way to reset it.

Nah, if they did then fewer people would take their cars in to get serviced and they would lose money

Just think, they're talking about the OBD-3 computers actually shutting down the car if the oil change intervals aren't followed.
Blinking at 7,000 miles
Stalling at 10,000 miles

That ain't right!!
