How To Reset Oil Life/Maintenance Light on Honda Ridgeline (2006-2021)

Last Updated on February 6, 2022 by Christ

Hey, what’s up, guys! Today, I got a post on reset maintenance light or oil life for the Honda Ridgeline. I got a 2018 Ridgeline, and we’re going to go ahead and perform the B16 service. B is your standard oil and oil filter change, 1 is for tire rotation, and 6 is the rear differential fluid.

This is an all-wheel-drive model, so the brake-in fluid normally gets changed out at about 15,000 miles there once that old fluid is out and we get the newly updated fluid in. It’s good for typically thirty to forty thousand miles, so you’ll see that pop-up. So now, let me show you how to reset this maintenance minder.

1st Generation

For eight years, from 2006 to 2014, Honda Ridgeline first generation models were sold in the United States. This generation has some options for resetting the oil life and it’s depends on the trim level. So let’s get to work.

• To begin, turn on your car using your key
• Then hit SELECT to scroll through everything you want to where it says SERVICE and flashes past due

• Once you’ve arrived, press and hold the RESET button for 10 seconds until it reads “MAINT RESET,” then release it
• As a last confirmation, you’re going to hit the SELECT to get Y and you’ll press the RESET key, which will put it back to its original state of 100 percent

With Navigation System (2009-2014)

Without Navigation System (2009-2014)

• First, turn the vehicle to the on position without starting it 
• Then, I’m going to click the SELECT button until you have your oil life 
• Once your oil life is present you’re going to hold the TRIP/RESET button for 10 seconds 
• Once it does, you’ll see a flashing oil life and you just hold the TRIP/RESET button again to reset your oil life

2nd Generation (2017-2020)

The current model is the second generation, which debuted in 2017. So let’s go inside and reset the oil life.

With Dash Screen

• First, what you’re going to do is double click the START button to get your accessory mode but don’t start the engine
• Then we’re going to go to scroll through the dash screen by using the ▲/▼arrow button until we get to OIL LIFE 

• Once you get to your oil life, you need to hold the RESET button down for 10 seconds
• As soon as it does, you’ll notice it says Reset and Cancel, so scroll up one to go to RESET and then hit the RESET button again, and voila it will reset your oil life to 100 percent

With Multimedia

• First, you’re gonna hit the HOME button on the audio display so it’ll bring you to the main screen 

• Then you hit the SETTINGS menu
• Now you go to the VEHICLE
• From there, you go down because they always put it at the very bottom to MAINTENANCE INFORMATION and click on that
• At this point it’s gonna tell you service recommendations, you’re gonna go ahead and hit RESET confirm it
