Oil life counter?

[NorthernEX-T]

So I got my EX-T serviced last week @ 7500km with oil life @ 30%, and noticed when I got it back when I scrolled to the oil life monitor I noticed there is now a number 01 as you can see below

Anyone know what this is? Just a counter of how many oil changes its had maybe?

According to the Owners manual, the 0 means 'Replace engine oil and filter', and the 1 means 'Rotate Tires'. Have no idea why it would say that if its showing 100% oil life.

Weird... I'll bring it up this afternoon to my dealer. Thanks for your help.

I believe it's letting you know what WILL be due at the next service. Before this I'm sure you had an "A" indicating just an oil change. Like the screen seen on this thread: http://www.civicx.com/threads/early-replace-engine-oil-code.2908/

That's exactly what my dealer told me today but wasn't positive, this makes it more clear. Thanks!

This does make sense seeing how it is a "maintenance minder." However, it would lead me to wonder why they give you a choice to clear the display.

So does this mean you only have to rotate tires every 20K miles?? If the minder only had an 'A' for the first oil change, and its saying '1' to rotate on the next oil change, that just seems like a lot of miles.

Yeah my dealer said that too, rotate tires on 2nd service..
