CE light blinks on startup, then stops
It's possible that i just never noticed this before (i doubt it)... but my check engine light blinks maybe 10 times now when i start the car, then it stays off.
Does that mean anything?
Car isn't driving any differently and i know the CE light can come on for hundreds of different reasons. Just curious. Thanks!

Acura has it programmed to go off when you need your oil changed or when you reach any number of other maintenance milestones, which are listed in your manual 
If you want, you can reset it by holding the reset and select buttons (for your odometer) while you turn the car on. hold them until the CE light goes off.

I thought the CE light WAS the Maintenence Required light (i really need to buy an owners manual)... so which one is the CE light then?
I am taking the car in for the 60K mile service right after new years.
But i have to take the car on a trip this weekend. What kind of oil goes into the CL-S?

The people at the acura service dept. just told me 5W-20, and not synthetic, although i imagine you could... Anyone disagree?
