How to reset the 'engine oil change due soon' message on CRV?
2 Answers
First press the engine start-stop button to start the vehicle engine. The dashboard will then display the 'engine oil change due soon' message. Next, press the trip computer control button on the left side of the multifunction steering wheel, then press the CANCEL button on the right side of the multifunction steering wheel.
Last time when my CR-V showed the oil change light, I fixed it right away. Remember to confirm you've just changed the oil first, otherwise resetting it might mislead you. Here's my method: Sit in the driver's seat, turn off the engine, rotate the key to the ON position but don't start the car - the dashboard will light up. Then locate the Trip button, usually a small button near the steering wheel, and hold it for about 10 to 15 seconds until the oil light blinks a few times and goes off. This usually works for models before 2020; for newer models with screens, you might need to find the reset option in the settings menu. I've tried this several times - sometimes it doesn't respond if you accidentally press the wrong button, but don't worry, just repeat the process. Regular maintenance like this is crucial - engine oil is the lifeblood of your engine, and changing it too late can accelerate wear or even damage components. Keeping this habit can save you a lot on repair costs.
