the light blinks a set # of miles before the recommended maintenance periods to "warn" you that you need to change your oil+, when you get to 5k and you havent changed your oil (or reset the maintenance light) instead of blinking the light stays on

Yeah I'm at 4700 miles and my Maint Req. light comes on when I start my car and flashes for a couple of seconds. Guess I'll change it before 5000.

every 6 months with amsoil XL 5w-30. just put 5K miles on sienna with amsoil, checked the dipstick, still full and the color was still translucent light brown. basically looked new still. couldnt believe it, first experience with amsoil, and now im a believer...thanks to everyone who got me to switch!! yaris will get the change at 1K miles (just like sienna), and sienna is due in april. oddly enough, expensive amsoil is saving me a bunch of money...
