[@bluepill8077]

Just helped me

[@SurvivalFarms]

Because honda design engineers are stupid

[@Iloveboogersalot]

At least 919,000 people as of my writing this (6/28/2023) has had this issue...incredible! Thanks for you help!

[@mitchcox]

Ha ha. Yeah!! Always great to see how many people my video helps. Take care.

[@AveriCapener]

Not me coming back to this exact video every 8 months to reset it!! Thank you

[@mitchcox]

Great to hear that my video keeps helping you out. Thanks for letting me know. See you next time!

[@AveriCapener]

@@mitchcoxhere I am back again resetting my oil life using your vid ;))

[@plutonium9]

Your video is easy to follow, you speak clearly, the video quality is great.....yet 52 people give it a thumbs down. I'll never understand the petty actions of people hiding behind the anonymity of their computers.

[@mitchcox]

+Gerald G Ha ha. Yeah. You can't please everyone. Thanks for the nice words. Thanks for watching and I am glad I could help you out. Take care!

[@iviewthetube]

90 people thought that hitting the reset button would automatically change their oil.

[@DeadliestLit]

This is why I love KZbin. I got the oil changed in my car today, and the oil life is reset to 100%, but the reading is stuck on the screen and won't display the mileage. This video showed me how to change it. Thanks! :)

[@benbassist]

I always know I can count on this video 10 years on because you put it up here. Thanks!

[@mitchcox]

Ha ha.. You are welcome! Happy to hear it is still helping people after all these years! Take care.

[@geraldfoushee]

I had previously tried to reset my oil light with this video and it wasn't working for me.... Then today i. Tried again and realized I was not following directions carefully.... When I did the extra step mentioned.... It. Worked and this is why i left a comment. And gave thumbs 👍 up

[@t-weswesylover8278]

Gerald Foushee same thing happened to me .the second time I tried make it successful thanks

[@melissasullivan4798]

Thank you so much they didn’t reset my oil life so I was so clueless to how they do it and thanks to this video it worked I have a 2010 Honda CR-V

[@RetiredAndHappy-]

This is fantastic - thank you! You saved me a trip to the dealer. Big-O tires changed my oil and they said they didn't have the equipment needed to reset the light because Honda was somehow "different" from other car makes in the way the light gets reset. Your suggestion worked like a charm. I have a 2008 CRV.

[@steveshooter9010]

+JustWannaRetire We all hate it when "professionals" try to BS us instead of just saying they don't know everything. I just love KZbin!

[@greego5952]

Maybe they just didn't know how simple it was and thought you needed to plug in a device.

[@heathervia4843]

Widow here, thank you so much for posting this! It really helped me out of a jam!

[@mitchcox]

Happy to hear that my video was helpful. Thank you for sharing your experience with me. You are capable of so much more than you give yourself credit for. Take care of yourself.

Glad to hear that you keep coming back to my video. Please subscribe if you aren’t already subscribed. I have other videos you may find helpful. Take care.

[@teresatriumph2780]

I was concerned the button would reset my mileage to zero based on an over explanation by a mechanic. Found your video, and followed you step by step as your were talking and I thank you so much for the help.

[@bethanyestes5126]

You are my hero. I had my boyfriend change my oil, but this didn’t reset, and I have to pick my parents up at the airport, and they would be all over me.

[@mitchcox]

I don’t think I deserve “Hero” status. But thank you for watching and commenting. Thank you for letting me know that you found my video helpful. I appreciate you! Please subscribe!

[@mitchcox]

Great to hear this!! THANK YOU! Please subscribe. It’s free to you but helps me greatly and you never know. I may have other helpful videos you find useful. Take care.

[@JohnJackson-hy7dn]

Thanks for this. The fact that over a quarter million Honda owners need this video is a measure of how stupid the Honda system is. Honda has about a dozen different ways of cancelling the light depending on year and model. Idiotic.

[@jmkim118]

You have the absolute best instructions !!! I was at about 3 other videos and they were all the same instructions and I still couldn’t reset. THANK YOU!!!!

[@mitchcox]

Glad it helped! Feel free to save my video for next time. Thanks for commenting. Take care.

[@bobostrum1194]

The place I had my oil changed said I needed to take my car in to the shop because my indicator wouldn't reset. Well it did after watching this!!! Thanks!!!

[@pieguy279]

Manual gives incorrect instructions on this, but your instructions are correct, thnx.

[@mitchcox]

Glad it helped. Thanks for commenting.

[@mitchcox]

Tru Maverick No problem! Glad I can continue to help you. I do like cookies. :-)

[@steveshooter9010]

Thanks for the info! After watching this, my first thought was: "I wonder if there are people who watch this and think they can reset the indicator without changing the oil." LOL!

[@mitchcox]

+Steve Shooter I am sure there are people that do that! Ha ha. Not a good idea.

[@richardclark1810]

mitch cox dealerships and shady shops do that,,ive seen it first hand,been a mechanic my whole life,thats why i tell people be careful where you take your car and get to know your mechanic

[@joshrivera2943]

Thank you, I was a bit worried after I changed my oil but this fixed the problem.

[@mitchcox]

Wayne Young WOW! $50 for an oil change, Does seem high.. I generally trust Valvoline instant oil changes for getting mine done. it averages around $25-$30 and I am generally done in about $20 minutes. For anything other issues, I take it to honda. ANyway, I am glad I could help you out. Thanks for watching and thanks for letting me know my video helped you out. Take care!
