wtf my maintenece light just came on but nothings wrong help

[deevergote]

well i change mine ever 3 months

If you don't drive more than 1500 miles a month or so, then that should be ok. If you drive 4000 miles a month like I do, THEN it could be a problem!

Use is more of a factor than time when it comes to oil life, unless the time is excessive... 6 months of non-use warrants an oil change.

When mine first changed I was pissed thinking I needed to read some codes. I like mine to be green.

I freaked when mine first changed... but yeah, just a stupid counter. I leave it red.

I did too I called slammed4thgen ( jake ) I asked him what the f!@!#@ is wrong with my my car the lil maintance thing is red ? he just laughs at me and says it goes off about every 7to8 k I felt stupid lol

red every 7,500 miles (conincides with the recommended "normal driving" oil change interval), yellow I'm rather sure is at 6,000 miles. I change my oil...after it turns red...when I feel like it.
I didn't freak cause my CB came with the manual and I actually read it :O

Yea, it's useful though. I reset it after every oil change. It turns yellow at 3,000 miles, and red at 5,000 miles. Iuno, it's there for a reason! Just your decision whether you use it or not. My memory isn't the best, so...if it wasn't for the maintenance thing, I'd probably run without an oil change for wayyy too many miles.

are you sure that it turns every 3k miles man? cause mine is like that other guy, it turns every 7k or so, and thats what the manual says

Well shit. If so, then good thing I use synthetic oil. haha I drive a hell of a lot though. I've had this motor since May, and I've already put 14,000 on it.
