I don't own a new Honda right now. But I was in my friends 07 Pilot the other day and noticed this light. It also told him % of life left in the oil.

How accurate is this. How does the computer know if the car has been filed with syn or dino?

I would guess that would make a big difference!

This is an excellent move as 3000 miles truly is not necessary.
