By the way, it’s been a year since I had this car almost, so I’m going to change the engine oil. You should change it every time you either at once every year or every time it gets down to 15%. So I’ve done it, and now it’s time to reset the system.

I just changed the oil in my 2012 Honda Fit, and I need to reset the oil life light. If you want to reset it, what you have to do is:

Turn the key on
If your vehicle has an ignition button, press the POWER button twice without step on any pedal
Go to the Oil Life screen
When things light up on your dash you need to push the selector button which is right here and go through until you get to the Oil Life
Press and hold the knob
In order to reset this, you push and hold the button for 10 seconds until it flashes
Depress the knob again
Once it starts to flash you take your finger off and then hold it again for another 5 seconds until it resets to 100%

With Steering Button

Put the key in the ignition and get the ignition on
Then go to the steering wheel and you click that ▲or▼ button so that allows you to toggle through all of these different screens. So you go to the VEHICLE SETTINGS

Next, you switch from the i button to the SEL/RESET button and you click it on Vehicle Settings so that will bring you up to all of these different options
After that, you click the ▲or▼ button until you get to MAINTENANCE INFO and select it
Now scroll up and that will give you the option to RESET
To reset it you just need to press the SEL/RESET button to confirm and you’re done

So that’ll reset everything for the cars. I hope that was easy enough and useful for you. Please leave any comments or questions in the comment section below. Thanks a lot for stopping in; I appreciate it.
