There are TWO lamps that are commonly confused.

You must be referring to the "Maintenance Required" lamp, at lower left of
the cluster of six under the tach. The other one is the "Check Engine"
light, at upper right of ths cluster of six, next to the "2" transmission
indicator.

If you no longer have your Owner's Manual, you can obtain one for free
here:

Choose "Owner's Manuals" from the menu at left (no login required), then
navigate to your car. How to turn the light off is shown on page 67.

Note: Make sure your headlights are OFF when you try to turn the
Maintenance lamp off. At least some Hondas will not allow the lamp to turn
off if the headlights are left on during the procedure.

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?
