Go to Autozone and have them read the codes. The CEL is on due to some malfunction, not because you car has more than 100k on the clock.

First Is it the Check engine light or the Maint required light.??

If its a Check Engine Light why drive around with it on. That means something is wrong. Go some place that reads codes and find out

As for the Maint required light its in your manual on how to reset it as well.
It means nothing more than its time for a oil change (when properly reset) Its designed to come on full at 7500 miles.
With the car off,Press and hold the Trip and Reset light with 1 hand, while holding them BOTH in turn your key
to the RUN position (not start but run) and continue to hold them in till they turn off. It takes about 10 seconds.
If you turn the key and then press teh buttons in you will change the Outside Temp settings
