How the Oil Life Monitoring System Works
The oil life monitoring system in the Honda Passport uses an onboard computer to track engine operating conditions, including speed, temperature, and duration of trips. Based on this data, it estimates the remaining oil life and alerts the driver when it’s time for an oil change.
After an oil change, it is essential to reset the oil life indicator to ensure accurate monitoring of the vehicle’s oil condition. The oil life reset process helps the onboard computer track when the next oil change is due, maintaining the engine’s health and performance.
