Post How to: Reset Engine Oil Life Display
I just thought I would post this for people who don't know how to do it. It is in the Owner's Manual, but pretty sure some people just do internet searchs first.


1)Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

2)Press the Gauge Dimmer knob until "Engine Oil Life" is displayed.

3)Press & Hold the Gauge Dimmer knob for 10 seconds. Then the "Engine Oil Life" & "Maintenance" item codes will blink.

4) Press & Hold the Gauge Dimmer knob for another 5 seconds. and the warning light codes will disappear and "Engine Oil Life" gauge will reset to 100%.


Do this only if you performed the needed maintenance for your vehicle.

Any way to switch from 3K to 5K? I use synthetic and Pure One filters. 3K is a complete waste of time and money.

I figured out how to do because I actually read the owners manual after I bought the car

I read manuals as well But:
I certainly did not see how to "adjust" mileage. Driving conditions, quality of oil, filter type, synthetic or dino, they all play a part in what you the owner feel is best suited for your car. Hell the amount of miles I rack on my cars I would be under the car more than inside it!

Not sure how but I think the CPU is able to monitor the oil/filter status. I've had my car for almost a year and a half, 20K miles plus. I've only changed the oil 3 times per the maintenance minder. It doesn't come on every 3K miles asking for an oil change. It's more around 6K or so for me. I switched to synthetic on my first oil change so maybe the system is able to automatically adjust for that? Not sure if that's true or not, just what I have experienced...

The system on the Honda cannot tell what type of oil you use.
Its math based only.
