General steps
Park safely and switch the vehicle on without starting the engine.
Open the information or vehicle settings menu from the steering wheel, dashboard button, or touchscreen.
Find Oil Life, Maintenance Minder, or Maintenance Info.
Press and hold Enter, Select/Reset, or the on-screen reset control until the reset prompt appears.
Choose the oil life item, then confirm reset.
Switch the vehicle off and back on to confirm the oil life reads 100%.
Common questions
Why does oil life not reset?
The reset prompt may require a long press, or the wrong maintenance item may be selected. Try again with the ignition on and the engine off.
Can I reset oil life before changing oil?
You can, but you should not. The reminder should match the actual oil service.
Why do steps differ by year?
Honda changed display controls over time, so older cars may use a dashboard button while newer cars use steering-wheel or touchscreen menus.
