Problem is, you have to know how to ask the question before you can look
it up in the owner's manual.

I didn't know about the "maintenance require indicator" until I read
about it here, in the newsgroup -- and then checked in my owner's
manual. Lo and behold, it was there, and the explanation made more
sense to me.

Sometimes you have to know how to phrase the question properly before
you can get an answer.
