"Maintenance Required" light means what exactly??

[flipped]

I have a 98 civic and my "maintanence required" light is on. Is this light programmed to go on after a specific amount of miles or does it mean there's something wrong(like a leak, low fluids or something)?

It's got a mileage counter. You can reset it with your ign key. Mine's red I usually do it after an oil change or every 15k miles but I always forget.

what it means is that you need replace your muffler bearings and headlight fluid...

roflmao caddy... anyway, like ozchi said, it's a mileage counter. it rolls around to red every 7500 miles. it's just a reminder so u remember to change ur oil and do basic maint. u can reset it any time u want
