If it's Maintenance Required, then you can reset it yourself. It is merely a timer, and when you get your oil changed, they are supposed to reset it, but they don't always. Seeing as you haven't gotten yours done, then I would say that is it...

 

The instructions should be in your Manual. On older Honda's, there was a single button that reset it. I have a 2000, and you turn the car off, hold your triptik reset as you turn the ignition to "on", and when it stops flashing, you let go and it's reset. I don't have any experience with 7th gen's though, so I'm not exactly sure, but it should DEFINATELY be in your manual. That's where I found mine...
