Default Maintnace required light

Maintenance required light comes up on start up

I know it's usually for an oil change but the thing is I got my oil changed by Honda not even a month ago.

I checked my oil and it's all good !

Any chance that it can be associated with my brakes ? I'm asking this because when I got my oil change , Honda said I needed a brake fluid flush ... Could this be the reason for the light to come on?

Please help ! Thanks

no, just a maintenance reminder interval. Just a dummy light.

I think You reset it by holding down the trip button, turn key on , an hold down for 15sec ... But is there anything wrong with the car ?

It is a reminder light for doing oil changes. Not connected to your oil condition or anything like that. As others said it is simply a dummy light. Reset and pay no attention to it. Do your scheduled maintenance as you normally would and just reset that light every time it comes on.
I check engine light is where there is something up with your car not the maintenance light.

The instructions on how to reset the light are in the owners manual.

No, your dealer just forgot to reset it.

They are the dealer and you'd think they would know better. Next time you use a dealer, try another one.
