"Maintenance Required" light

"Maintenance Required" light
The last few times I have started the car, the 'maintenance required' light flashes longer than the others. After the initial test of all the indicator lights has finished, this light continues flashing for a few more seconds. Is this normal or is it trying to tell me I have to take it in? What sorts of issues make this light come on?
I have tried the three clicks thing with the gas cap, that did not change anything.

How many miles are on the car? For the HAH, I believe it flashes for ten seconds between 6K and 7.5K miles. After 7.5K miles, it stays on. It's just telling you you're near or you're at the standard oil change interval.

On the HCH, the maint required light with flash for 10 seconds after 8k miles to indicate that an oil change is due. At 10k, it will stay on. This is documented in the manual, along with the reset process for after you change your own oil, or the dealer forgets to do it themself.
