I just got an oil change done on my 08 sedan ex v6 accord. Oil life was at 20%, and after they changed the oil, it still said 20%. Is it supposed to automatically change to 100% when new oil is put in? or is there a button/switch that should be pushed to reset the oil life? I know this may be a basic question for some of you, but go easy on me.

 

I'm pretty sure it needs to be reset. Have you checked your owners manual for the procedure?

 

nope, but i will now.

 

You might not be able to reset it until it gets down to 15% and the maintenance warning lamp comes on.

Cycle the trip display until it reads OIL %.
Press & hold that reset button until the oil display starts flashing.
Release the button for a moment, then press & hold it AGAIN.
Eventually it'll go to 100%.
