All about car service indicators
Service indicator lights let the driver know when the car needs general service. Service indicator lights can tell the driver when to change the oil, when to check essential components such as air filters and exhaust systems, and when to replace parts such as brakes.
Each automaker has its own system of service indicators. Different manufacturers provide the driver with different information and build their maintenance schedule based on different factors. To learn more about the service light in your vehicle, check out our guide below.
