Time for oil change
When the maintenance required light in your 2010 Toyota Camry blinks eight times and then goes out, it typically indicates that the vehicle's maintenance reminder system has been activated. This usually signifies that it's time for routine maintenance, such as an oil change or other scheduled service, based on the mileage or time interval since the last service. It’s advisable to check your owner’s manual for specific maintenance recommendations and to reset the light after completing the required maintenance.
