What is the Honda Maintenance Minder System?
The Maintenance Minder System uses the on-board computer to continuously monitor engine operating conditions such as speed, engine temperature, ambient temperature, time, and vehicle use to determine when an oil change and regular maintenance is necessary.

How does the Honda Maintenance Minder System work?
There is no longer a maintenance schedule in the owner's manual. The system shows engine oil life as a percentage, which drops over time as the vehicle racks up miles. It starts out at 100% with fresh engine oil, and winds down to 0%, signaling the oil life is over. Your Honda will alert you with a visual warning light to indicate not only when the next service is due, but also what type of service is needed by a series of codes.


What Does the Oil Life Percentage Mean?
When the on-board computer determines that your Honda has reached 15% of remaining life, it will turn on the Maintenance Minder light for you. In addition, each time the vehicle is started; the information center will default and automatically display the percentage of remaining life.

Your Maintenance Minder also provides continuous information regarding the remaining oil life on your Honda's dashboard. To learn how to access this information in your Honda, click here.

NOTE: The Maintenance Minder System does NOT monitor oil levels.
