maintenance light came on...

I'm assuming its just an automatic thing, when the oil is due to be changed. I have maybe a 100 miles before its due, according to the sticker on the windshield.
Do you guys think its just oil change time or something different. It still runs/drives normal. I just got it back from the shop for some paint work and it popped up.

Your vehicle is equipped with both a Maintenance Required and a Check Engine light. As you approach the service interval, the Maintenance Required light will begin to flash on the dashboard for several seconds after startup; it's time to change the oil in your vehicle. Read the article, Servicing Your Own Vehicle: Chaning the Oil & Oil Filter for more information. If you ignore the light, it will eventually trigger the Check Engine light.

Reseting the Maintenance Required light is an easy procedure to perform. To begin, you will want to verify that the odometer is displaying the standard odometer and not the trip meter display. If it is on another display, simply toggle until you have the standard odometer display. Next, with the car off, hold down the button with which you reset the trip meter and toggle between displays. While still holding down the button, turn the ignition to the On position but do not start the car. Continue to hold down the button until the five bars (on some models) disappears and the Maintenance Required light is extinguished. You have just reset the Maintenance Required light on your vehicle.

If your vehicle is equipped with bars underneath the Maintenance Required light then the interval that indicates when the light will come on again can be adjusted (under 5,000 miles). To do so, simply follow the steps indicated above to reset the Toyota maintenance light. While you are holding down the reset button and as you turn the key to the On position, watch as the bars extinguish; each bar represents one thousand miles. If you would like to be reminded to change your oil ever 4,000 miles instead of ever 5,000 leave one bar lit and the indicator will reappear in 4,000 miles.
