Had my oil changed at Walmart (much closer and cheaper than the dealership). However, the oil life indicator on the dash display still says oil life < 10%. How do I reset this or is it something the requires a dealers touch?

Thanks.

 

 

Of course he's a noob. He only has one post. How much more of a noob can you get? But most of us are here to help the noobs, not remind them how noob they are.

So here goes.

Short thread with this info https://acurazine.com/forums/audio-video-electronics-navigation-22/subwoofer-help-90084/

The procedure on page 196 of the manual is incorrect. In paragraph 3a of the manual, the requirement to hold the button for 10 seconds the second time it is pressed is omitted. If this is not done, the display will not reset.

Here’s the full procedure to reset the MID display.

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON

2. Select Trip A or Trip B (You can use either one, so if you are using one to record data for something, use the other one to reset the Oil Life Indicator).

3. Press the < or > button repeatedly until the oil life is displayed.

4. Press and hold the Select/Reset button for 10 seconds. The Multi-Information Display will ask for a confirmation.

a. If you are sure you want to reset the display, press the Select/Reset button for 10 seconds again. (This is the part omitted from the manual.)

b. If you do not want to reset the display, press the < or > button to select “Cancel”

And welcome to the forum, "noob"

 

My point I suppose was more on forum etiquette than the state of his Acurazine virginity. Search, go to the garage, or as Ron's avatar eloquently puts it, RTFM.

 

Then you should have said that. Since a noob is a noob, there is probably little meaning to him when he sees a smilie with noob in it. But we do try to give them the benefit of the doubt, especially on their first post, and wait before we bust their chops.

 

Pardon my ignorance (as this seems to be the point of your post) but what does "noob" stand for?

 

See, I told you a noob wouldn't know what noob means. Just kidding.

noob is a new member, like a "newby". Everyone was a noob once. It's not derogatory, just descriptive.

 

We used to call the new hires out of college "FUNEWGY"'s.

 

Thanks Ron A, I'm also relatively new to Acurazine. I did not know how to reset the oil indicater. Do you know of a zine for Honda Pilot's. I purchased a new TL last year for me and a new Honda Pilot for my wife. I do the Pilot's normal maintenance service at my Acura dealer. It's closer and easier to setup an appointment. However, they don't know how to reset the Pilot's reminder.

 

Wow! Another Pilot/TL combo. Wife has 2003 Pilot EX-L, I have 2005 Acura TL

 

Wait until the butt prints start to show - there will be opportunity for another 20,000 posts!

I am all for helping Newbies, but also believe in tough love.

I say RTFM because I want people I share the road with to know as much about their cars as they can. Example: I nearly plowed into a driver the other day who was stopped in the middle of the road. Why? Because his engine had died, and he "did not know that he could start it in Neutral". Why? Because he did not RTFM!!!!!!

Oh, before thou headest for thy Enter key, wouldst be that thy knoweth that this car did not have a brake interlock system - so it did no need to be stopped with a foot on the brake to turn the starter.

 

And another Pilot/TL combo, my wife has a 2003 EX-L-DVD, I have a 2005 TL 6MT.

 

But wally world. No excuse

 

 

We call new people on my ship FNGs = F@#! New Guy

 

Once the past due message appears, how do you reset it?
My manual states the correct procedure as described above, but it does not work. The display shows how many miles past due I have gone

 

My wife has a '06 Honda Pilot and I have the '08 TLS. The Pilot web site is www.Piloteers.org.

 

Wow, and another Pilot/TL combo here. Wife has a 06 Pilot EX-L Taffeta, I have an 07 TL NBP.

 

Hmmmm. Should work, I'd think. Have you held the "reset" button long enough? Takes about 10 seconds or something, iirc.

 

takes one to know one!!!!!
