How to Check the Oil Gauge on the Tenth Generation Accord?

[SanThomas]

The tenth generation Accord has a square button located at the lower right corner of the steering wheel to check the oil gauge. Below are the steps to check the oil gauge: 1. Make sure the vehicle is cooled down. If you have just driven or the engine is running, checking the oil gauge will not be accurate. 2. After pulling out the dipstick for the first time, wipe it clean with a clean tissue before reinserting it. 3. Upon pulling out the dipstick for the second time, you can observe the oil level on the dipstick. If the oil level is between the upper and lower limits, it indicates that the oil level is normal. The upper and lower limits are usually marked with clear indicators for easy identification.

I just picked up my 10th-gen Accord last week and spent quite some time figuring out the fuel gauge location. On the left side of the instrument panel, there are two round dials - the one on the right with a small fuel tank icon and letters E and F is the fuel gauge. When the needle points to F, it means the tank is full, and as it gradually moves toward E, it indicates decreasing fuel level. Don't panic if the needle slightly vibrates when the AC is on - the accurate reading shows when parked. Remember the fuel gauge needle briefly jumps up when starting the car - that's the system self-check. The central display can also show remaining range, which helps better determine refueling timing when viewed together. Get into the habit of glancing at the fuel gauge after starting, and don't wait until the warning light comes on to frantically search for a gas station.

Having driven the tenth-generation Accord for three years, checking the fuel gauge has become as natural as glancing at a watch. In the combination meter directly ahead of the driver's seat, the tachometer is on the left and the speedometer on the right, with the fuel gauge positioned adjacent to the tachometer. When the white needle points to 'F,' it indicates a full tank, and movement toward 'E' signifies decreasing fuel levels. A minor observation: there might be slight discrepancies between the needle position and the actual fuel quantity, especially noticeable when driving on inclines where fuel surface tilting becomes more pronounced. It's best to check during red light stops. The trip computer in the center of the meter can display range information by holding down the roller button on the right side of the steering wheel. It's advisable to refuel when the fuel level drops to one-quarter remaining, which is better for the fuel pump's longevity.

My daily commute in the Accord has taught me that understanding the fuel gauge is more important than one might think. After settling into the driver's seat and starting the engine, pay attention to the thin scale around the outer edge of the circular instrument on the left. The fan-shaped area marked from F (Full) to E (Empty) is the fuel indicator zone. Interestingly, the tenth-generation Accord uses an electromagnetic induction fuel gauge, which is more accurate than the old-fashioned float-and-pointer type. However, significant temperature changes can cause the fuel level display to fluctuate by about half a mark. When the needle drops into the red warning zone, a yellow gas pump icon will pop up in the center of the instrument panel, accompanied by a beep. At this point, there are approximately 8 liters of fuel remaining in the tank—enough for about 70-80 kilometers in the city, but immediate refueling is recommended if you're heading onto the highway.
