How do I reset oil life on a 2012 Honda Accord?
I took my car in for an oil change a few days ago, but when I look at the oil life, it still reads 55%. How do I reset the oil life on my 2012 Honda Accord?

More than likely, the mechanic simply forgot to reset the oil change warning light—but don’t worry! Resetting it is simple.
- Turn the key once to access the accessories position. Make sure that you don’t start the engine.
- Find the trip button that’s located on the right-hand side of the instrument cluster.
- Hit the button twice or until you get to the oil life readout.
- Hold the trip button for 10 seconds or until the oil life blinks.
- Release the button.
- Press and hold the button again for 5 seconds, or until the oil life reads 100%.
When you get an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, you significantly improve the longevity and mechanical condition of your car, so way to go!
