How to reset service message?

I did a search for this but was coming up empty, but if I decide to have my oil changed locally (Acura dealership about an hour away), how do I change the computer to reflect "Oil Life 100%?"

I'll have to look but I think the dealership did offer me two free oil changes after purchasing my 2006 TL and it even seems like they were going to give me a bottle of touch-up-paint which I already unfortunately need for a spot on my passenger door.

Oh yeah, I normally change my oil at 5,000 miles...so it is easiest to remember, but my oil life gauge shows that I have 40% life left. Which should I follow?

It's all in your owners manual. I don't know the procedure by memory, but I know it's in the owners manual. I suggest you look there.
