    The maint reqd light just came on only 2,000 miles after my last oil change. Why so soon. I used mobil 5,000 mile 5w 20 oil. Has anyone eleses light went off very early?

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Reset it and monitor when the actual 5000 mile change is. Then change it and reset it again. Check your oil in the meantime.

    I was still going to change it at 3,000 miles. I dont like going any longer. But i should just check it and if it looks good and is up to level just reset it and wait untill the 3,000 miles to change it?
