All it does is read the mileage and look-it-up on a pre-programmed maintenance schedule…
The old ones were just odometer driven. Modern ones use a calculation based on idle time, engine temperature, engine power, and miles.
It counts how many miles you drove.
The onboard computer system in your vehicle continuously monitors the engine operating conditions such as speed, engine and ambient temperature, time and the vehicle use. The system will count down the vehicles oil life based on these conditions to determine when an engine oil change and maintenance is necessary. I always try to change mine when the counter reaches 10%. Do not wait any longer than 5%.
It doesn't. READ the owner's manual that came with the car. It will tell you when you should change your engine oil, AND what kind of oil you should use.
It's programmed so you don't change it every 3,000 miles like you should. That way you make it through the warranty period. You won't get the most miles out of the motor following the on board reminder.
Regular oil every 3 months or 3,000 miles and synthetic oil every 5,000 miles with no time limit.
Check the oil once a month and top the oil level up if it drops more than 1/4th the way down from the top dipstick mark. Don't let the oil get black before changing it.
- 2004 Honda Pilot! I did an oil change today check the manual for the engine oil capacity, it is 4.8 liters and put 4.4 liters and add .5 ltr? Total engine oil put is 4.9 liters and I'm surprised the dipstick is above the second hole by 10mm. Is it overfill or do i need to remove some?

- How long does it take for loan max to repossess your car after your loan due date in Ohio? I took out an $800 title loan on my 2000 Honda Oddyssey (188,000 miles) and I can't make the initial repayment amount of $288 on time. How long will it be before they send someone out to repossess my car? I live in Ohio and I'm really afraid they will repossess it before I can come up with the cash.
- Do you need someone to start your car when you go on vacation (winter)? One of my roommates is going on vacation for a week and has asked me to start up their car and let it run for 10 minutes every day. I think they are worried about their battery? It is winter, 30 degrees F, some snow on the ground. It is a regular 2015 Honda sedan. I've never heard of this and tried to find some articles but am not finding clear answers. Is this necessary or beneficial to the car?
