How to reset the oil life monitor / indicator on a Honda Fit
My oil life indicator got down to 10% today (at about 6500 miles) and, since I had the day off for Columbus day, I decided to take my Fit in for its first oil change. Living in the small ghetto-ish community of Echo Park here in Los Angeles, there aren’t too many Honda service centers or even Econo Lube n Tube’s around. This is why I found myself at the little service center in my local independently run gas station. They changed the oil on the Fit for $30 and got it done fairly quickly. The only downside was that they didn’t reset the damned oil life inidicator. Thanks to the “Having a Fit” blog, I discovered how to reset the indicator myself and thought I’d share them with you:
- Press the trip meter select/reset pin until you the oil life reminder is displayed
- Press and hold the select/reset pin down for approximately 10 seconds until the oil life reminder is blinking
- Press and hold the select/reset pin down for another 5 seconds or so until the oil life reminder is reset to 100%
Big thanks to Having a Fit for posting this. Up next, I’ll be posting about my brand new Pioneer Avic F700BT.
