How to Reset the Oil Life on a Acura ZDX

Steps from the 2013 Acura ZDX owner's manual.

Set the power mode to ON.
Press the SEL/RESET button repeatedly until the engine oil life is displayed.
Press and hold the SEL/RESET button for 10 seconds or more to bring up the oil life reset mode.
Select RESET with the button beside the SEL/RESET button; the service code disappears and oil life returns to 100%.

Reset only after the maintenance service has been performed.
To cancel the reset mode, select CANCEL, then press the SEL/RESET button.
Failing to reset causes incorrect maintenance intervals.
