Thanks, I guess I should have read the manual instead of the quick
guide. It says the dealer resets it when servicing. I changed my
daughter's 05 civic oil twice and never reset the meter. Should I wait
till it blinks to change?(any thoughts welcome) I am old school oil
and filter 2000-3000 miles. My wife has a 06 pilot with the oil life
indicator, no problem yet only 2500 on it.
