How to Reset the Oil Life on a 2007 Honda Accord

The 2007 Honda Accord is equipped with a maintenance reminder that keeps track of the mileage intervals between oil changes. The display on the dash shows a percentage of the calculated oil life to let the driver know when it is time for another oil change. When a service technician changes the oil, they reset the oil life calculator back to 100 percent. If the owner performs the oil change himself, he can reset the oil life manually.

  • Turn the ignition switch to the "ON/II" position.

  • Press the select/reset knob until the engine oil life shows up on the display.

  • Press and hold the select/reset knob for approximately 10 seconds. The engine oil life indicator blinks. Release the select/reset knob.

  • Press and hold the select/reset knob for another five seconds. The engine oil life resets to 100 percent.
