u mean that it came on?

it comes on every 5,000 or 8,000 miles i think

if it came on then reset it.....if it went off......then don't worry about it.

it doesn't matter how or where u drive......honda recommends that you change your oil every 5,000 miles.......so the light will come on every 5,000 miles.

start your car. put it on trip A, reset it to 0. then turn the car off. Press and hold the button, and turn the car back on, and wait until the light goes away.
