can someone explain how to reset oil meter on honda civic?
so, last month I was driving my Honda Civic, minding my own business, when the oil change light popped up like it was trying to give me a mini heart attack. I thought, “Ugh, another thing to deal with.” So I went to the mechanic and got it done. But then I realized the oil meter still showed the old info. Like, what’s the point of changing the oil if the car still thinks it’s bad, right?
I ended up searching online for how to reset it, but man, it felt like trying to crack a safe. I finally figured it out, but it took longer than it should’ve. Can anyone break it down simply? Like, do I need to press the gas pedal and the brake at the same time or something? Or is it more of a dance move?
Would be great to hear your stories or tips. It’s like we’re all in this together, right?
I had trouble with mine last month at a gas station in Ontario. Its all about pressing the button on the dashboard like five times then turn the key. I ve almost given up honestly.
I ve got a 2017 Civic and resetting the oil meter was a little confusing at first. I remember being in a parking lot in Chicago just staring at the dashboard like what now. It’s easy though just go to the settings and follow the prompts.
Always feels good to reset it and keep track of oil changes properly.
I remember when I had to reset mine in my Honda Civic last summer while I was driving through Ontario.
It’s super easy just turn the ignition on without starting the engine then press the gas pedal three times within five seconds.
Good luck it’s so annoying to forget.
I remember the first time I tried to reset the oil meter on my Civic back in Michigan I was all confused and pressing buttons like a D.J. at a party.
Not the most straightforward thing honestly. You basically need to go through the menu on the screen and find the maintenance section.
I ve done it a few times now and it still feels a bit like wizardry. Just follow the prompts I guess.
I remember the first time I tried to reset the oil meter on my Civic back in Michigan. I was clueless and ended up pressing all sorts of buttons.
You basically want to turn the key to the on position without starting the engine then push the gas pedal three times within 10 seconds. It took me a few tries but once I figured it out it was super easy.
I remember the last time I had to reset the oil meter on my 2015 Civic in Toronto. It took me ages to figure it out.
First you gotta turn the ignition on but don’t start the engine just yet. Then press the gas pedal three times and it magically resets.
Honestly felt like I won a mini lottery that day. Super simple once you know the trick.
I remember my first oil change in my 2012 Civic in California. I felt so accomplished but resetting the oil meter was a puzzle. I ve found you just turn the key to on without starting and press the gas pedal three times. Simple once you know it.
Just a minor hassle but feels like a win.
I’ve had my Honda Civic for years now and resetting the oil meter was such a puzzle for me at first. It’s actually simple once you know it. Just turn the key to the on position but don’t start the engine then press the gas pedal three times. I was in Ontario when I finally figured it out. What a relief.
Ive reset my oil meter on my 2018 Civic last month it was surprisingly simple just hold the knob and press a few buttons in the right order
Just like when I first moved to California and couldn’t figure out how to set my sand timer for the beach
Anyway good luck
I ve been driving my Honda Civic for years and resetting the oil meter was a bit tricky at first. I remember doing it on a rainy day in Seattle.
Just press the start button twice without actually starting the car then press the gas pedal three times
It sounds simple but it took me a while to figure it out. Happy driving
I ve reset my oil meter a few times on my Honda Civic it s pretty easy just check the manual
last time I did it was in my garage felt like a pro after
I ve dealt with this on my 2014 Civic in Canada just hit the button on the dashboard till the oil light blinks then reset.
ive been through that so many times it gets confusing but it works like a charm after.
So I’ve been driving my Civic around Boston and I remember when I had to reset the oil meter last summer.
You just turn the key to the ‘on’ position without starting the car then press the gas pedal three times. Pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
Hope this helps someone out there.
