I remember when I drove my old Accord, I often encountered the oil life reminder. The "OILLIFE 1500KM" was a prompt telling you it's time to change the oil. The reset method was quite simple: first, turn off the engine, then just turn the key to the ON position (without starting the car), and then locate the ODO/TRIP button on the dashboard. Press and hold it gently for about five seconds, and watch as the small light blinks a few times before turning off—that means the reset was successful. This reminder is automatically calculated based on driving mileage. Sometimes, frequent resets can buy you a bit more time, but don't neglect maintenance. It's recommended to check the oil condition at 1500 km to avoid engine wear. I always reset it right after each maintenance, and the car runs smoother, making maintenance more cost-effective and reassuring.
