I have Honda Accord 2001. I just got an oil & filter change and 1 day after that, the maintenance required sign stays on as soon as I turn on the engine of the car. I don't know why it is happening. Can someone help me with this? Thank you![/quote]

Open up your owners manual. It tells you how to reset the light. It is easy to do and involves the key and the trip odometer reset button. This light is intended to come on every 10,000 miles or so to give you a heads up that maintenance is required. Reset it and it should be fine.
