WOW just had the codes run again and the oil change is NOT on there. Also the light flashes when I drive but it does NOT flash when stopped. Also it says 4 codes now but they are 2 sets of the same code! 1)P0141 bank 1 sensor 2 02 Heater circuit for a predetermined period of time. 2) P0300 Random Misfire detected. Then it list those same 2 codes again! NONE of these were there the other day when the oil change info came up and the funny part is the blazer is running GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flashing check engine is a severe misfire. You don't have any driveablitly issues?

So on your year blazer, when it's oil change time, it triggers the cel? Never heard of that before.
