Had oil changed, dash says "oil life 15%"
I got my oil changed at a local station, then a week or two later I got this "wrench" light on my dash, and it said "oil life 15%" or something like that. My friend said the oil change place didn't "reset" the sensor, and I should look in my manual to do it myself, but it doesn't say anything about this in the manual.

I have a 2010 4 door Civic LX.

Can anyone help?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
