Thumbs down Maintenance Required Light

Took car in for 5000 mile service.
Car had 4985 miles on it.
When car hit 5000 miles the maintenance required light came on.
Can I reset this myself?
Sure do not want to go back just to have service light reset!

You will find the information you seek in your owners manual. I found it there before under the vehicle services section.

Thanks,
Actually I found it under check engine light instructions.
The light I have is service engine light.
Guess The lights are considered interchangeable?
Worked!

yes the maintenance required light just means go do an oil change. That other light you mentioned could be trouble!

It will start flashing again at 4500 and come on steady at 5k.
