How do I reset the oil life on a Honda Pilot?

How do I reset the oil maintenance light on a Honda Pilot? I have a 2017 Honda Pilot, and my brother came over to help change my oil. Typically, he takes care of changing my oil and resetting the maintenance light for me so I don’t have to worry about it. But he forgot to reset the oil maintenance light this time and now I have to figure out how to do it.
