Maintenance Light flashes when car first starts..
Anyone have this problem? My maintenance light will flash about 4-5 times right when I first start my car then it stops flashing?

i know it usually flashes once car is started once, but this goes for 4-5 times after all the lights shut off.
Oil Change? Hmmmmm I'm not up for an oil change yet I'll have to take a look ...and I looked in the owners manual (LOL) first place i checked it said take to get serviced, i was just wondering if anyone knew off hand or had any suggestions
thanks!

It means you either need an oil change or the last time you got one it wasnt reset. It is normal my 06.5 did this already and i called the dealership right away and it turned out that the last time i had my oil changed it wasnt reset. It's perfectly normal nothing to worry about. If your not due for an oil change then just reset it.

Like everybody is saying. Either you are due for a Service or whoever did your last Oil Change didn't reset it. If you want to Reset your Light.
Here's how you do it: Hold the Trip/Clock Button Down, Turn the Key On. The Maintenance Light will either come On and stay on, then go Off or will Flash several times, then go Off.
Once it goes Off, Turn the key Off and then Release the Button. Then Start the car up and it will go Off. Try that.

i have NEVER had a Scion/Toyota service tech reset the timer while at the dealer for scheduled oil changes. i always have to do it myself after the fact--good thing it's so easy to do : )
