Resetting the Engine Oil Life warning light without performing an oil change will compromise your car’s ability to predict the next oil change. Without this warning, you could seriously damage your car.
Resetting the Engine Oil Life warning light
Keeping an eye on your Pilot's needs is easy with Maintenance Minder. You can find out how much time is left before an oil change by turning the ignition switch to ON and pressing the Select/Reset knob (marked with a gear). If your Pilot's engine oil life is less than 15%, a wrench-shaped warning light will automatically illuminate on the display.
Once you’ve changed the oil, you’ll need to reset the light so it can accurately tell you how often you should get an oil change. Here’s how:
- Turn the ignition switch to ON
- Press and hold the Select/Reset knob for 10 seconds or more to enter Reset Mode
- Press and hold the knob for five seconds or more
As soon as the display returns to 100%, you'll know you’ve correctly reset it. You can now trust the oil life warning light to be accurate when it comes back on.
How often does a 2015 Honda Pilot need an oil change?
Honda recommends using synthetic motor oil and changing it every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. You should change the engine oil every year if the "SERVICE" or "SERVICE DUE NOW" message fails to appear after a reset for one year.
If you’d like to save about $100, you can change your oil and/or oil filter yourself! Just follow the steps in the
owner’s manual
and remember to reset the light once you're done. If you run into problems, or if the warning light is stuck on, you should probably visit a Honda mechanic.What oil should you use in a 2015 Honda Pilot?
To change the oil in a 2015 Honda Pilot, you’ll need 4.5 quarts of Genuine Honda Motor Oil or a generic alternative. The owner’s manual recommends a premium synthetic 0W-20 detergent blend with an API Certification Seal on the container.
0W-20 refers to the oil's viscosity, while " detergent " refers to its cleaning additives. The API seal looks like a black starburst and certifies that the oil meets the standards of the American Petroleum Institute. Make sure to select the right oil so your car has the right lubricant for its operating temperature.
