How do I reset a Honda Pilot oil light?
The oil light on my Honda Pilot reads 50% despite the fact that I just got an oil change. How can I reset the light on my Honda Pilot?

Oil changes are an important part of
basic car maintenance
, so kudos on staying up with it. If you want to reset a Honda Pilot oil light, follow these instructions:- Put the key in the ignition, and turn the key to the on position but don’t start the engine. This is called accessory mode. If you have a push-button start, press the button twice to accomplish the same thing.
- Use the trip button on the instrument cluster to bring up the oil life.
- Hold in the trip button for 10 seconds or until the oil life percentage starts to flash.
- Release the trip button.
- Hold in the trip button again for about five seconds, or until the oil life reads 100%.
Keep in mind that your oil life indicator and oil pressure light are two different things. If the light that looks like an oil can with a drip is illuminated on your Honda Pilot, this may indicate a leak or another problem with your oil pressure—which is a serious issue.
You’ll want to take your car to a mechanic immediately so you eliminate the risk of damaging your vehicle. While your car’s getting checked out, download the
