New car - I want to change my own oil. I assume the engine maintenance light comes on when the oil life indicator get to 90 or 100%.
Ques.; 1. How do I reset the oil life indicator to 0? 2. How do I reset the Engine Maintenance Light (i.e., turn off)? 3. What is the torque for the oil drain plug? 4. What is the best source to get a Honda Civic Shop Manual for the 2009 Honda?

rdude135 November 10, 2009, 04:50JourneymanThe maintenance minder system actually works the other way starting at 100% and moving backwards. A little wrench shows up on the dash when it reaches 15%. To reset the light you push and hold the reset button on the left side of the dash. Once the display starts to blink then you release the button and press and hold it again until it resets back to 100%. The torque on the drain plug is 29ft lbs. The best source to get a manual is Helm. They make the manuals that the dealer uses.
