The service manual (page 3-5) says: "When the ignition switch is ON and the remaining oil life is 6% to 15%, the remaining engine oil life and other scheduled maintenance items needing service are displayed."

Also, "The engine oil life and the maintenance items can be reset independently only with the Honda Dignostic System" (service manual page 3-6).

This would seem to imply that the oil life meter and other services are not independent, and are tied together. In other words, if you change your oil more frequently, and reset the maintenance minder when you do, you're on your own to figure out when everything else is due.

It's ironic that a system which was supposed to eliminate doubt and guesswork seems to be having exactly the opposite effect around here.
