The maintenance light in a 2008 Toyota Solara serves as a reminder for the driver that routine maintenance is due, such as oil changes, filter replacements, or other scheduled services. It typically illuminates based on the vehicle's mileage or time intervals set by the manufacturer. When the light comes on, it's a good idea to check the owner's manual for specific maintenance recommendations. Resetting the light after completing the maintenance is also necessary to keep track of future service needs.

See answers already posted to "How do you change oil on a 2004 Toyota Solara," "How do you change oil on a 2006 Toyota Solara," "How do you change oil on a 2007 Solara." They're the same as the '08. The short answer is, oil changes are the same on almost all vehicles. 1. Place a suitable container (5 quarts or more for the Solara) under the car. 2. Remove the drain plug and let the oil empty into it. 3. Replace the drain plug and move the container until it's under the filter 4. Spin the filter off (in the case of the Solara it's wise to place rags or paper towels under the filter to prevent a mess on the floor) 5. Replace filter 6. Add five quarts of oil 7. Start engine, check for leaks 8. Reset maintenance light. Cheers
