MAINT REQD Light is On after oil change?
So my MAINT REQD light has been on for the last 1000 miles or so. I think when I got my last oil change (at an EZ Lube) the ECU didnt recognize the change or something. What can I do to turn it off? Is there a reason why this is the first time between changes that this has happened? What needs to happen to reset it?

its easy to reset you just have to put you key in the ignition but dont turn it on, then press the mileage stick on your speedo and hold it and then turn the key to the ON position while holding it and eventually it will reset

oh and guess what, apparently my previous oil change place stole my air cabin filter. that cost me $50 today when i had to get a new one and change. unbelievable.

Cabin filters were never installed by the factory even though there is a place for it, so likely you didn't have it. With a very little research you could have found out how to make your own for about $10 or just bought a new filter and had it installed yourself. Having someone else do the job for you will always cost more $$.

$20 to have someone else do it is well worth the money. maybe in the future i will learn how to do it, who knows. haha well all those mods were installed by me except the exhaust and headers. i didnt have the right tools for those. otherwise, Google and me got the job done on everything else.

In short, most oil changes I've trusted with others were done improperly.
In fact, the only place that I can trust is the Stealership. Everyone else screws up. Paid a certain well known tire place to do my rear brakes, and a month later they are already screwed up big time.
For those reasons, I strongly suggest most people learn to do what they can and save hundreds of dollars and headaches.
