So the light is changing and i am not sure why. I am like 1500 miles till the next oil change and like 7500 from the 60,000 mile check up. The car is running fine besides the mpg being a little lower then normal, but i think the hot weather has something to do with that. So can some one shed some light on why the light is slowly changing for green to yellow(which it is on now) to red? i would appreciate any help

ya, I'm confused... what light?

do the 5th gens not have this light?

 

oh that light doesn't mean jack.. ur mechanic probably forgot to reset it last time you got your oil changed.. just use ur key and stick it into that switch next to the light and it should go back to green

that maintenance light is only for people who don't know their maintenance schedule and rely on a red light to tell them when their oil change is due

 

oh , and i don't think 5gen had it

 

ususally those matainance lights comes with a reset button...to reset it to normal....1-hold the button 2-put the key in and turn on the engine..like westcoaststyle said..i dont' think the 5th gen civic have this ...i've done this to th 98-00 accords..

 

h:

I know what you're talking about now. We don't have it.. I'd take the bulb out if I did. :chuckles:

 

Thanks for the responses. I figured it was nothing to worry about but i thought it might be a good idea to check just in case
