Honda Maintenance Minder Service System

Honda Maintenance Minder Service System

When you need Honda Service?

Performing regular maintenance according to the factory-recommended Maintenance Schedule is the best way to keep your Honda running in optimal condition.

Each vehicle has its own maintenance needs, so Honda develops specific maintenance schedules based on model equipment, such as transmission choice or the addition of a towing package.

The Maintenance Schedule calculates service needs based on your car’s mileage. It checks engine operating conditions and helps coordinate oil service dates and other maintenance check-ups. Prevent problems before they occur.

How does the Honda Maintenance Minder know when the 0% trigger occurs?

The system counts down oil life based on engine operating conditions (both normal and severe). The on-board computer continuously monitors engine operating conditions such as speed, engine temperature, ambient temperature, time, and vehicle use to determine when an oil change and regular maintenance is necessary.

How do I operate the system?

The Honda Maintenance Minder is very easy to use. As the on-board computer continuously monitors your vehicle, it provides continuous information on the remaining engine oil life left - simply depress the Select/Reset knob on the information display and you will see use progression.

When the on-board computer determines that your vehicle has reached 15% of remaining life, it will turn on the Maintenance Minder light for you. In addition, each time the vehicle is started; the information center will default and automatically display the percentage of remaining life. To return to the odometer/trip meter, simply depress the Select/Reset knob. The following chart will explain exactly when service is due:

Oil Life %	Message	What to Do
15%	Service Due Soon	Now is a great time to schedule an appointment with DCH Paramus Honda for scheduled maintenance services.
10%	Service Past Due	You will also see a negative mileage readout which indicates how far overdue you are for service. To avoid harmful wear or damage, take your vehicle in for service now.
5%	Service Due Now	As soon as possible, you should take your vehicle to DCH Paramus Honda for scheduled maintenance.
0%	Service Past Due	You will also see a mileage readout which indicates how far overdue you are for service. To avoid harmful wear or damage, take your vehicle in for service now.

What happens to the Maintenance Minder if I do not perform maintenance when the remaining life gets to 0%?

If you do not perform the recommended maintenance, the display will start to show negative mileage. This indicates how many miles that the vehicle is past due for service.
