  • williambertr Feb 20, 2009

    The oil life indicator is a display on the dash board it is telling me that my oil is past its service life however this is not true as I changed the oil myself. What I can't seem to do is reset the oil life indicator that is displayed on the dash board to 100% oil life. As of now the display on the dash board is telling me that the oil needs to be changed. Do you know how to reset.

    A couple of questions;



    1) Is the vehicle a Honda CR-V or ????



    2) What year?

    Yes, once you get to the display indicating the oil life, hold down on the button until the light/display resets.
