To reset the oil life light on a 2005 Acura MDX, start by turning the key to the off position. Next, press and hold the SELECT and RESET buttons on the instrument panel while turning the ignition to position (II) without starting the engine. Keep holding the SELECT and RESET buttons until the indicator resets, which usually takes about 10 seconds. Once done, turn the ignition off and then start the engine to confirm that the indicator has been successfully reset. The oil life light displays the remaining engine oil life on the information display to remind the owner when it's time to replace the engine oil and perform regular maintenance on the engine.

    If you want to clear the maintenance light on your 2005 Acura MDX, simply turn the ignition to the second position (II) without starting the engine. Press the SEL/RESET button on the steering wheel until the oil life percentage is displayed. Then, hold down the SEL button for at least 10 seconds. You'll see the engine oil life reset mode on the monitor. Use the INFO (up/down) buttons to select reset, then press SEL/RESET to confirm and restore the oil life display.
