This light goes on after a certain number of miles. It is based on assumptions regarding how often you change your Honda's oil. Either change your oil per your own plan, or do so when this light is lit. To turn it off, see http://www.ehow.com/how_5577965_turn...nda-civic.html

If i remember correctly, it turns on every 7,000 miles. Its really just a way to remind people to not forget that their car has vital fluids and filters that might need nurturing, so to speak.. Though, changing your oil before you get to that 7,000 mile mark is probably a lot better....
