I jusy purchased a 2008 honda accord with no owners manuel.The car has 19,000. miles.The oil life states its at 100%. My question is do I get an oil change?

100% indicates the oil is new, or at least the oil life meter has been reset. It counts down as it gets closer to oil change time.

Yellow/gold wrench light 2006 honda accord is still on after an oil change . How do I reset it?

Is the oil life low? If so scroll up the oil life and hold down the RESET knob until it goes out. If the oil life is high, then service is needed.

How do I reset my 2008 Honda Accord oil %

Honda Accord 1998-09 To reset MAINT REQ’D light, press and hold select/reset button on right side of instrument panel. Turn ignition on and hold until the light goes out.

On the right of your dash is a pair of buttons, one for selecting/changing the odometer and the other for cycling from MPH to KMH and back.
Turn the key on.
Push the select button until your display indicated the remaining oil life percentage. When it is displayed press and HOLD the select button until it begins to flash. Once it starts flashing release the button and press and hold it again. The display will clear and if you release the button and cycle through the display with the select button you will see oil life 100%. Good luck and this should reset the oil life.
