Oil Change Question
Honda Accord 2012 EX 4 Cylinder 2.4L Engine model K24Z3
So, about 87d ago I had a major oil leakage but didn’t notice until I got to work (thankfully it didn’t do serious damage) but got it resolved, did an oil and oil filter change and it’s been fine since then with occasional leaks here and there (I would check the dipstick and no issue)
Afterwards though, I forgot to reset the dash back to 100% so now the oil life shows 15% telling me I need to do an oil change
After the oil and filter change 87d ago, I’ve only driven about 900 miles being generous, and maybe around 1k being extra generous since I don’t drive far for work and only occasionally do errands that will be 25 miles round trip or less.
Is it just going based off the oil change before the one I did 87d ago since I forgot to reset it back to 100%?
Should I still go ahead and do an oil change? Or should I just reset the 15% back to 100 and then keep driving for a few more months then do an oil change? Or what do yall recommend?
Not sure if this helps, but I did check the dipstick and the oil color is good, not dark at all.
Thanks in advance!
