Hey guys my maintainence light is on but my car runs fine? but the thing is my dad... put in 89 gas instead of 91, but he said it's not the first time... but this time i found out before hand. I've tried to burn the gas and all but he fulled it up to the max and now it's near the middle. Could it be the gas or what else could it be. The engine seems to be pretty warm but the temp gauge says it's fine. It seems to be hotter than usual but once that light came on i just floored it a bit to try to waste gas.. any suggestions of what it could be or what should i do? thanks and right now it has around 80 xxx km thanks guys

 

Sounds like you need an oil change

Oooh, ohh...I've been dying to say this..."Use the search function, dude." Luckily, if it's truly the "Maintenance Required" light, and not the check engine light then it most likely came on to remind you that scheduled maintenance is due. You can re-set it, but I'm gonna be a jerk and make you search for answer Hint: it's in the owner's manual and listed here.

^Damn, you beat me to it!!!

 

Just to clue you in it's not OK to be a jerk out in the open.

 

Gotcha. I'm still new to this whole World Wide Web thing so I'm still learning the proper forum etiquette. I'll try to be more sensitive from now on as I cruise the information super highway.

 

what is the milage on the car so far?

 

Thank you.


o1s I was going to ask the same thing. I don't think he's had an oil change yet.

 

hey guys it's at 81 xxx km i've got a oil change done not too long ago maybe within 3-4 months but i don't drive like excessive so yeah.

 

You mean I can't use this anymore?

 

Welcome to the forums. Like others said, the light means nothing. it's just set to come on every few thousand km's, so learn how to reset it cause you will be seeing it again
