How To Reset the Oil Life on a Honda Civic

It’s not a complicated process at all if you’re wondering how to reset the oil life on a Honda Civic. In fact, it all boils down to six easy steps that you can easily do at home:

  1. Turn on the ignition, which is one position before starting the engine.
  2. With the left hand side controls on your steering wheel, press Menu and take a look at the screen.
  3. With the (+), choose Vehicle Information and hit the SOURCE button.
  4. Press SOURCE again and this will give you the Maintenance screen. The i-MIC (intelligent Multi Screen Display) should give you the engine oil life.
  5. With (-), choose Yes then press SOURCE.
  6. Turn off the ignition, then start the engine again to confirm the changes.

How Do I Get the Most Out of My Oil?

The Honda Maintenance Minder System is responsible for your oil light turning on when it’s time to get your car serviced in Newark, but a host of factors contribute to how long the oil will last in your car. Your driving style, the outside temperature in Hoboken, and the average temperature your engine stays at all influence how long your oil lasts. If you’re getting the oil light before you think you should, that means it’s time to come into the shop because your additives might be breaking down.
