    I changed the oil BEFORE the "maintenance required" light came on. Should I follow the reset procedure anyway, or just keep driving? Here's the same question asked another way - Does the car actually monitor some characteristic of the oil, or does it simply count miles? If it counts miles, I'd like to ask it to start over. Thanks!

    You can reset it at any time. It just counts miles
