Good video.

Some people are a bit paranoid and take a telescopic magnet and poke inside for loose metal trims. No need to... maybe after a million miles LOL.

Quick question, what is the difference between using the Honda diagnostic system to reset sub item 6, or just pressing and hold the re-set from the steering wheel? Does the manual reset really clear the sub-items or is it just resetting the maintenance minder? I kinda suspect the computer won't mark 6 as completed unless it is specifically told to. Any thoughts?

The engine oil life and maintenance item(s) can be independently reset with the HDS.
