Honda Maintenance Minder: Finding Oil Life

How to Find Engine Oil Life on Your Honda

There’s no question that the engine oil in your vehicle plays a vital role in its health and performance. What does remain a question is what the current “life” status your engine oil is at. This is crucial information to have to ensure you’re on top of your Honda’s engine oil needs, knowing when it needs to be serviced and topped up. Luckily for you, Honda makes it easy with the Maintenance Minder tool on your model, easily allowing you to find said oil life status on your display screen. How does this all work, and how can you find it on your Honda? Our Honda Woodstock team explains it all for you below, as well as providing a few hands-on how-to videos to help!
