2 Answers
Steps to cancel the oil life display on the Civic dashboard: 1. Turn the Civic's power to ON mode; 2. Continuously press the display information button until "Maintenance" appears on the screen; 3. Press the Enter button, and the engine oil monitor will appear on the screen; 4. Finally, hold the Enter button for about 10 seconds, and the Civic oil wrench indicator will be cleared. The Civic is equipped with features such as engine start-stop, electronic parking brake, auto hold, tire pressure monitoring, and hill start assist. The vehicle is powered by a 1.8L or 2.0L engine and features front MacPherson strut independent suspension and rear double-wishbone independent suspension, significantly improving driving stability and ride comfort.
I've dealt with this light several times on my Civic. After turning off the engine, rotate the key to the ON position (one notch before starting) without firing up the engine. The menu button on the steering wheel comes into play here—scroll to select 'Information Display,' enter the vehicle settings menu, locate the 'Engine Oil Life Reset' option, then press and hold for a few seconds to confirm. This little bulb is actually a thoughtful feature that estimates oil change intervals based on ECU data. Resetting it doesn’t mean skipping maintenance—always adhere to regular oil changes for engine health. I typically reset it immediately after an oil change to avoid driving distractions. If the steps don’t work, it might indicate a sensor issue or configuration glitch; consult your local repair shop for further diagnosis. Sharing my experience—just a few simple steps to handle it.
