What’s the best way to change the oil percentage on my Honda Accord? The reading must be off because I just got my oil changed, and the percentage is still super low.

Your Honda’s oil life percentage light is a great tool for keeping up with regular
car maintenance tasks
. But, like any light in your car, it can sometimes make mistakes. In those cases, you can follow these steps to change the oil percentage in your Honda Accord:
  • Turn your ignition to the RUN setting, which is one click before starting your engine.
  • Press the SELECT/RESET button on your steering wheel until you see Engine Oil Life or Engine Oil Indicator % on your display.
  • Press and hold the SELECT/RESET button until the oil indicator starts blinking.
  • If your oil life doesn’t reset, press the INFO button on your steering wheel, then press the SELECT/RESET button again. This should return your oil life to 100%!
Hopefully, these steps will help you reset the oil life percentage in your Honda Accord. But if you have any more problems with your oil life indicator,
talk to a mechanic
to make sure your oil is really clean. If it is, then you may have a bigger problem with your oil change sensors.
