I am also coming up on an oil change. Will be the second one in the car's lifetime.
The car gets low mileage, but the once a year stipulation is coming into effect. It's also driven in the city/suburbs so the engine gets harder use.

If I do it myself, is there an easy way to change the oil life meter on the Onboard Computer?

Very easy, it's in the owners manual.

I had my first oil change at around 4500 miles and 15% on the computer

guess I'm driving pretty aggressive It was free and the little sticker placed in my window shows Syn power 0w20

I'll stick with that and run it until 15% before the next change

I get regular discount coupons for oil & filter changes at my dealer, that cost between $16-$30. My fit does not have what I would consider a high performance engine, and the Oil refill gauge evaluates the engine based on my unique driving style.

All oils of a similar grade sold today are good. I feel very comfortable letting the dealer use whatever oil he feels is appropriate. I keep copies of the service records so If something were to happen because of the oil he selected, I'm sure that the Dealer or American Honda would correct the issue.

Go with the dealer oil change...they are very cheap.
