Turn the ignition to ON without starting the engine, cycle the display to Oil Life using the trip/reset control, and hold the reset button until the Oil Life indicator resets to 100%. This returns the maintenance timer to a fresh baseline for the next oil change interval.
Step-by-step reset procedure
Follow these steps in sequence to reset the oil life indicator on a 2015 Honda Accord.
- Turn the ignition to ON with the engine stopped.
- On the instrument cluster, press the TRIP/RESET (or SELECT/RESET) button to cycle through the information displays until you reach the "Oil Life" screen (or an oil life percentage).
- With "Oil Life" displayed, press and hold the TRIP/RESET (or SELECT/RESET) button for about 5–10 seconds until the display shows "Oil Life 100%" or resets to 100%.
- Release the button, then turn the ignition OFF and back ON to verify the Oil Life reads 100%.
After the reset is complete, the Oil Life indicator should show 100%, and you’re set for the next oil-change interval.
Notes and considerations
In some trims, the labeling on the display or the navigation path to Oil Life may vary slightly, but the fundamental method remains the same: access Oil Life through the instrument cluster with the reset control and hold to reset.
Variations by trim or model year
Most 2015 Honda Accord LX, EX, and EX-L models use the same reset approach. If your vehicle uses a slightly different display layout, look for "Oil Life" or an oil-life percentage in the multi-information display and reset it by holding the reset button until it returns to 100%.
If you cannot locate Oil Life on the display, ensure the ignition is in ON (not START) and you are using the correct reset stalk or knob on the instrument cluster. Some interfaces require cycling the display to Oil Life before performing the reset.
Summary
Resetting the oil-life indicator on a 2015 Honda Accord is a quick, tool-free procedure: turn the ignition on, navigate to Oil Life using the trip/reset control, hold the reset button until the display shows 100%, and verify by rechecking after a brief cycle of the ignition. This returns the maintenance timer to a fresh baseline for your next oil-change interval.
