Hello Civic owners
I have a problem with my 07 Coupe...some weeks ago my civic display the "Oil Life 15%" message
quickly I change the Engine Oil.....but the message was still there every time I start the car
so I change the transmission oil...and the message was still there !!!
and it drop to "Oil life 10%"...
So I change the last oil...the power steering one.....and the message is still there !!! AARRRGGGHH
well...I decided to live with that...but now the message change...it display:
Service oil life 5%
what the hell ?? there is another oil in the car beside those 3 ??? or its a "bug" that even changing the oils the message will stay there ??

some people should not be allowed to work on their own cars...
search "oil life reset"
key off, hold trip/reset button on dash, turn car on till it resets to 100%. It's in the manual as well.

That's funny, "KB09CIVIC". To "GTR-Mclaren": there is a button called "SEL/RESET" on your dash right next to your driver door, push on it and hold for about 5 second to reset. Do that every time you change your oil.

I will throw you a bone...everytime you do an oilchange you have to reset the life meter..as it runs off engine cycles and not the actually oil..
