Read the owner's manual. You are confusing two different lights, and the
RESET instructions should be in the owner's manual. More likely the
oil change monkeys forgot to reconnect a hose. PS. Don't let them do
your tranny fluid EVER.

My fiance has a 2003 Acura TL. The car needed an oil change recently
so I took it to the 'Quick Lube' place that I've been taking my Nissan
Maxima to for the last 5 years. After they did the service the next
day I noticed the "Check Engine Light" came on. When I mentioned this
to her she said that the Engine Light is programmed to automatically
come on whenever the car requires an oil change.

Do we have to take the car to the dealer to get this turned off? Is
there something special that is suppose to be done to 'reset' the
engine light when you get a oil change? Should we just ignore it?

The car has less than 35,000 miles and is running excellent so I can't
imagine that the engine light would be on for any other reason.
Thoughts?
