How to Reset Maintenance/Oil Light on 2009-2011 Honda Civic

This is a video showing how to reset the service reminder, or maintenance light on any 2006-2011 Honda Civic including Si's. All you really have to do is hold the SEL/RESET button for 10 secods until the tachometer starts to blink, release it after it blinks for a few seconds, and then hold it for 5 seconds again until it changes the screen. Then your reset light is reset for another 5000 Miles. Please Comment Rate & Subscribe :)

I kid u not every time I do my oil change I forget how to reset my maintenance light and I always come back to this video. For like the past five years. Everytime lol .. thanks

[@iZCroikey]

For a moment i thought that my button was not working, I went and searched a ton on vids until you explained that you must hold it for exactly 10 sec then 5 secs. That saved mw from thinking that something was wrong with the computer. Thanks a lot for the clear and informative video.

[@klindsay52]

Thank you for this. I had my oil changed two days ago, and the garage didnt' reset the 15% oil life and wrench symbol. You've saved me the trip downtown.

[@raver208]

So simple and yet a lifesaver at the same time. That maintenance light was driving me nuts period. Thank you so much.

[@Robbie9003]

Thank you so much quick and easy love RUclips and the people that get on there and help other people out

[@Regio1982]

Thanks this guy at a shop couldn't get it right, I saw your video and got it right the first time

[@SandyDiVa]

OMG THANK YOU! My mom got this car for me because I have a rare health condition. Without a car I’d be home bound even living in a city. Because I’m sick and can’t work, we are living in poverty so getting the required work done isn’t always an option. I have ADDED fresh oil but I can’t afford a synthetic oil change for at least 2 more weeks (aka after Christmas). It was reading NEGATIVE 100 miles and I didn’t want the meter getting that bad. Wish I found your video last week lol! But it’s reset now thank to you so better late than never right? I’ll just go by the oil change sticker like I’ve done with every other car I’ve owned instead of the maintenance minded that no one asked for in cars 😉
Also it wanted me to replace filters that were changed IN JULY. I just got this car from a dealer and they did service that wasn’t required by the cars schedule. No way filters and fluid flushes are done every 3 months. So I’m glad that code was removed too!

[@davidflemos]

Thanks brother you’re the only one that knew how to do it , I went through a bunch other videos and nobody know how to do it properly 😂

[@egt22c]

Thank you for a short sweet and to the point video, worked perfectly.

[@jimstorms]

awesome thanks a lot! that blinking mileage telling me I was 1500 miles over due was making me crazy. now I just need to remember to change it at 50%. I will remember this process next time. fairly simple. You rock man!

[@sarahfriesen3209]

Thank you ! My 5 yr manufacturers warranty just expired so I thought it's okay to have a friend do my oil change now and that light needed to get done.

[@brigidjury4276]

Easiest and only video that helps me reset my car every time I change the oil!! :-D

[@GuillermoArellano]

Thank you so much for putting this video together. First time not doing the oil change at the dealership and didn't know how to do this part. You're wonderful!

[@terrytaylor5941]

just what the doctor ordered thank you sir

[@BakerIsBored]

I have a 09 Si that I've always taken other places to get my oil changed. I'm about due for an oil change and have been debating doing it myself. Thanks, this helps if I do end up doing it my self :)

[@AnthonyTheMostWanted]

Thanks man, i knew i was missing something that kept the light from turning off

[@champagne771]

wow, this is so good, i have paid several times to get my engine reset, now i actually did it on my own. thanks for the assisance.

[@yajahiraramos9296]

This video was very helpfull... thank you so much. it was driving me crazy that i changed my oil and it would still show low oil...

[@drcsyntax5903]

Thanks bro, about to change my oil to drive across the country.

[@jayespinozajr1615]

Dam it bro now u got me thinking if the shops be doing that to people!!!!

[@michaelscott2697]

Check your dip stick before and after they change the oil. If the oil is not clear or light in color then your getting scammed .

[@joshuatester524]

Awesome thanks man. Saved me time from having to go by autozone to do something so simple

Is there a way to mess up the speedometer accuracy when you are trying to reset the oil light? Went in for an oil change and immediately after the speedometer is reading 15-20mph faster than I am going.

Thank you this was very helpful!

[@runshoottech]

Good day, I have a 09 civic and the tpms light has been on for quite some time now, the computer doesn't say there is anything wrong with the sensors yet the tpms is still on, the rims were rotated front to to back at one point but I can't remember if the light came on at that time, the mechanic uses the computer to clear it off the dash but after a few miles the lights back on. any advice on what could be causing the light to be on???

[@mayankrbhatiya]

+talbert mcdonald I have the same issue if you can give solution for that would be great !

[@lpetit302]

I have a problem my car oil life percentage is at 15 but I don't know if it's safe to drive it

[@Can2We]

if I do this without really changing the oil, will I be fooling the computer ? Would it work ? Any negative effects ?

[@jasonmcleod2206]

yup, 2nd time changing oil and i gotta watch this vid to reset

[@kaylanisbett1134]

Omgggggg thank uuuuu soooooo muccccchhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhh I'm so happy now omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mikecas4081]

cool how about the factory alarm that they disable before you leave the show room floor i saw them insert a plastic chip into a module

[@khizers21]

Everytime I do an oil change I watch the video as well because I forget also hahaha

[@imapisces0308]

[@jonathondenham6530]

Do you have a problem with your brake pads wearing out every 15,000 to 20,000 miles?

[@nigerianskills1919]

Yes my brakes always squeak less than 15000 miles. It's crazy I gotta get new pads. I think the mechanics install cheap ones so Ima have to learn how to do it myself

[@Prestigeairsoft]

I own a 2011 civic and one of the complaints I found out about my car was premature break wear so keep an eye on your breaks

[@nigerianskills1919]

thanks man

[@leftnao]

So does the oil need to be changed? Or do I keep doing this until the engine blows up?
How do I know that the oil I have is healthy for the car. If someone would reply, that would be great. Thanks.

[@elwerocdn]

+leftnao exactly what i am saying. My parents say their v6 trucks go through less oil changes my civic is telling me to to do.

[@christopherhernandez5212]

You can check the oil level directly through the engine compartment rather than relying on the maintenance light. You can do so by using the dipstick

[@leftnao]

i should have mentioned that i did check and it was at the proper level and the light still came on at 10%. I did this and 3 months later the oil % is at 80% and the car doesnt seem to struggle with over heating. thanks for the replys.

[@leftnao]

LOL. You forgot to put noob in the options.

[@s.benedetto2147]

Mr. Noob, you seem to have reset your OLM without actually changing your oil and filter. Big mistake! Are you sure you're not a woman?

[@carlosmantilla8023]

Thanks!!! 2006 Civic!

[@l3riannerox]
