Maintenence Required Light blinking at 6k miles?
I just passed 6k miles last nite and after I went to fill up (91 Octane from Shell). The car's maintenence required light blinks for a few seconds when I start up the engine. What is this for? There is no scheduled maintenence at 6000 miles right? I got my oil change at around 3500 miles and the next one is going to be around 7000 or 7500 miles. Any help is appreciated.

Tire rotation, oil change and inspections.

Is the 7500m tune up something that the dealership will do for me even if I didn't purchase my vehicle there?
I still can't tell if there's any disadvantage to purchasing your TL-S from a dealer or from a broker, as I did. Perhaps this will shed some light!

of course all dealers will do the tuneup for you.
It is not a free service, just like an oil change. You can ask anyone to do it, even if it is not a dealer. I don't think there is any difference where you buy the car from, warranty on the car works at every dealership anyway. The only difference I know of is the extended warranty, those are more dealer specific. On my extended warranty it asks me to go back to the dealer I bought the car from to get services. Otherwise I have to call them and get permission to get work done and get reimbursed. Kind of like out of network medical treatments.
