The "MAINT" light comes on about 700 or 600 miles before an oil change is due. That is if the previous owner changed the oil every 5000 mi since new. I comes on every 5000 mi. For example:
@ ~4300 mi the light will come on to let you know that an oil change is due at 5000 mi.
@ ~9300 mi the light will come on to let you know that an oil change is due at 10000mi.
and so on.
I would guess that your mileage is at one of the 5000 mi increments. The light has no intelligence and just comes on at the prescribed mileage. Hope this helps.
