when was last time thr service was done?? 90K ? 105 k ?? is it a 4 cyl or v6 ?

if it has been at least 30k... replace oil, tranny fluid.if AT use Honda ATF-Z1 ,, if manual use 10w30 motor oil, air filter, brake fluid flush,use dot 3 or dot 4 .. plugs unless they are platinum ..then you should replace every 60k,, fuel filter every 30k, rotate tires every 7.5k, coolant every 30k, has timing belt been done?? if not DO it ASAP ,,

Read the owner's manual to find out what to do, and how to reset the light. I use the severe driving conditions list. Most people should.

it was done at 90k I believe I'll have to reread the manual cause I didn't see how to reset the light.
