Oil Life Reset Procedures by Make

Reset the oil change reminder light after an oil change. Always reset after every service -- the system tracks mileage and driving conditions, not actual oil quality.

  2. Use the trip meter button (on the instrument cluster) to display "Trip A."
  3. Turn ignition OFF.
  4. Press and hold the trip meter button while turning the ignition back to ON.
  5. Continue holding until the odometer shows "000000" and the maintenance light turns off (about 10 seconds).

Note: On 2019+ models with the multi-info display, go to Settings > Vehicle > Scheduled Maintenance > Reset from the steering wheel controls.

Honda

  1. Turn ignition to ON (engine off).
