How to Reset Oil in a Honda Civic
Many Honda Civic models are equipped with an oil life tracking system that is connected to the onboard computer. This system monitors driving habits and engine performance to determine when an oil change is needed. An oil indicator is displayed on the control panel when service is due. When an oil change is performed by a Honda dealer, they will reset the oil indicator. If you change the oil in your Civic yourself, you can manually reset the oil life monitoring system.
