How to Reset the Engine Oil on the 10th Generation Accord?
2 Answers
Set the power mode to ON and keep the vehicle stationary. Repeatedly press the TRIP button until the engine oil life is displayed on the instrument panel, then hold the TRIP button for more than 10 seconds to complete the reset. Below is an introduction to the 10th generation Accord: 1. The 10th generation Accord adopts a sportier design. Many view this generation as a "reverse aging" move, featuring sharp body lines, a coupe-like silhouette, and vibrant color options that appeal to younger consumers. 2. It comes equipped with the full Honda SENSING safety suite (including: CMBS Collision Mitigation Braking System, RDM Road Departure Mitigation System, ACC Adaptive Cruise Control, LKAS Lane Keeping Assist System, TSR Traffic Sign Recognition, LWC LaneWatch Blind Spot Display, and PSS Parking Sensor System).
Last time I changed the oil for my 10th-gen Accord myself, resetting the indicator light was quite simple. First, insert the key to the ON position without starting the engine, wait for the dashboard to light up. Then press and hold the TRIP button next to the steering wheel for about 10 seconds until you see the indicator light blink a few times and then turn off—release it at this point to complete the reset. After resetting, the reminder system starts counting mileage from zero, helping to develop a good habit of regular maintenance. I’ve driven this car for three years, checking the oil level every month and resetting the indicator immediately after an oil change to avoid false alerts disrupting trips. If not reset in time, the indicator stays on, which can be distracting and make me think there’s an issue when it’s just an unupdated setting. With proper maintenance, the engine runs much smoother, making commutes or family trips more reassuring. This quick operation takes just a minute and is very useful for extending the vehicle’s lifespan. My friends always say my car is in great condition—all thanks to daily careful maintenance.
