How to turn off "Maintenance Req'd" light on 03 Odyssey??

My 2003 Honda Odyssey is in need for an oil change. The change was done by local auto mechanic since I had it, however, last oil change was done at dealer while it was in for other repairs. Now the light's been blinking for like 1-2 months and today it wont go off. Does anyone know how to turn the %26quot;Maint Req'd%26quot; light off? I'm going to do the oil change from now on with the syntetic oil but do not know how to reset the light.



TIA

Maybe this will help:



While the car is off, push and _hold_ in your Trip meter button, then while still holding that button in... turn your ignition key to _On_ (not start). Wait until light goes out or you need a hair cut... which ever comes 1st. LOL, seriously it should go out in about 15 seconds or less

you don't just ignore the silly thing...or you could go and have the dealership turn it off and have to pay them like $50 to hook it up to their computer.
Go back to the dealer that did the oil change and tell them they forgot to reset the light, they will take care of it for you.



Or, to reset the %26quot;Maint Rqrd%26quot; light, you push and hold the reset knob and then engage the accessories via the the ignition switch.
theremay be more maint required than oil change. have it hooked up and let the computer tell you the problem and then go from there.
Hold in the trip reset button. Turn the key to on. The light will flash several times and then go out. Let go of the button, you're done.



I wouldn't start a high mileage engine on synthetic oil. The smaller molecules may leak past the rings and cause smoke. Regular oil is cheaper and if you want the engine to last just change it more often.
The dealer could tell you.dur.
I think if you go to a mechanic and explain the situation they will just turn it off for you. The light in my car comes on if I dont tighten the freakin gas cap just right and I know my husbands just takes it in and they turn it off no charge.
