Honda Accord 2002-2006 Engine Oil Life Reset
The Accord is a good used-car choice by virtue of being roomy, reliable
and having clear controls. EX trims are the pick of the Accord line with
alloy wheels, a sunroof and better audio system. Most samples will have
a four-cylinder engine that, together with the automatic, makes for a
smooth, unobtrusive powertrain. High-end versions have a slick, powerful
and quiet V6. Handling is quite nimble, the ride is steady and
controlled and switches and gauges are intuitive. If you can, focus on a
2005 or newer model since it came with standard curtain airbags that
provide more protection. 2006 and later models with the V6 come with
standard stability control, making them particularly desirable.

Important Maintenance Precautions
if you have the required service done but do not reset the display, or reset the display without doing the service, the system will not show the proper maintenance intervals.
This can lead to serious mechanical problems because you will no longer have an accurate record of when maintenance is needed.
Your authorized Honda dealer knows your vehicle best and can provide competent, efficient service.
However, service at a dealer is not mandatory to keep your warranties in effect. Maintenance may be done by any qualified service facility or person who is skilled in this type of automotive service.
Make sure to have the service facility or person reset the display as previously described. Keep all receipts as proof of completion, and have the person who does the work fill out the maintenance record.
Check your warranty booklet for more information. We recommend the use of Honda parts and fluids whenever you have maintenance done. These are manufactured to the same high- quality standards as the original components, so you can be confident of their performance and durability
