Maintenance Required Indicator Interval
Please limit responses to three, or four, replies.
Does the Maintenance Required Indicator always use a 10,000 mile interval, as indicated on Page 22-229 of the Service Manual, or can it be set to a specified interval?

I guess he doesn't want his threads to be whored.
To answer the question, the Maintenance light primarily goes on when the oil level is low, or that's what the dealer told me.

But to answer the question, see what Dan Martin wrote, above. Otherwise, the indicator is set to light up with the factory maintenance intervals.

Is anybody else experiencing the same thing?
Somebody didn't read the manual....

Well, I see that typing "Please limit responses to three, or four, replies." was a mistake.
---------------------------------
In regard to the Maintenance Required Indicator, the Service Manual (P. 22-229) provides:
From 7,900 to 8,100 miles -- Blinks for 10 seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON.
From 9,00 to 10,000 miles -- Comes on and stays on while the ignition switch is ON.
7,900 miles = 12,640 km
8,100 miles = 12,960 km
9,900 miles = 15,840 km
10,100 miles = 16,160 km
----------------------------------
It seems logical that if you were in the "Severe" category, you would want the Maintenance Required Indicator to activate at 5,000 miles rather than 10,00 miles. And, if you were about 50-50, you might want a 7,500 mile interval.

I just wasn't aware that the maintenance interval light came on every 10K miles - I thought it was just the first 10K.
