    Exactly.
    The CEL will never come on for an oil change or maintenance.

    when does the Maint reqd light go off- I just had an oil change and it's still on- does it have anything to do with rotating the tires? Peace J

    No- Chances are your oil change folks didn't clear the light. Take a look into the owners manual and do the procedure. Should look something like:
