How do you reset the oil life indicator on a Honda Pilot?

On a 2016 to 2022 Honda Pilot, turn the ignition on, then choose Settings, Vehicle, Maintenance Information and Reset on the touchscreen, and confirm to bring oil life back to 100%. Older Pilots use the steering-wheel buttons or the instrument-cluster knob instead, and our express service lanes at Bob Howard Honda take walk-ins with no appointment for oil and filter changes.

Reset your Honda Pilot oil life to 100% with these steps

Honda’s published procedure for the Pilot’s multi-information display resets engine oil life to 100% in four steps, using the SEL/RESET button. The display returns to 100% once you confirm the reset, and the service code disappears at the same moment.

From Honda’s owner’s manual, the steps run in this order:

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

2. Display the engine oil life by pressing the SEL/RESET button repeatedly.

3. Press and hold the SEL/RESET button for 10 seconds or more.

• The oil life reset mode appears on the multi-information display.

4. Select RESET with the / button, then press the SEL/RESET button.

• The service code disappears and the engine oil life display returns to 100%.
• To cancel the reset mode instead, select CANCEL, then press the SEL/RESET button.

On the 2026 Pilot with the driver information interface, the reset runs through the right selector wheel:

1. Set the power mode to ON.

2. Roll the right selector wheel until the Maintenance Minder screen appears.

3. Press and hold the right selector wheel for about 10 seconds to enter the reset mode.

4. Roll the wheel to select the maintenance item to reset, or All due items. You can also select Cancel to end the process.

5. Press the right selector wheel to reset the selected item.

6. Repeat from step 3 for any other items you want to reset.

Honda’s manual warns that skipping the reset after maintenance makes the system show incorrect maintenance intervals, and that can lead to serious mechanical problems. The manual says the dealer resets the display after completing the required service. If someone other than a dealer performs the service, the owner should reset the display, using the steps above.

When should you leave your Pilot’s oil change to a Honda service team?

Bob Howard Honda’s express service lanes take walk-ins with no appointment for oil and filter changes, so you can bring your Pilot in without booking ahead. Only genuine Honda parts are used. Leave the oil change to our service team when you want that walk-in visit, and you don’t have to reset the display yourself afterward, because Honda’s manual says the dealer resets it once the required service is done.

The express lanes take walk-ins for a listed set of light services: oil and filter changes, fluid checks, multi-point inspections, tire rotation and repair, wiper blades, battery testing and replacement, bulb replacement, and engine and cabin filters. We also offer service specials and coupons.
