Regular Self Checks

To make sure your Acura is in great shape at all times, there are various inspections you can do yourself. On a monthly basis, be sure to check the following:

• Brake fluid level
• Tire pressure and condition
• Operation of exterior lights
• Wiper blades

By performing these checks regularly, you will be able to know exactly when fluids need to be changed or parts replaced as soon as they become old or worn.

Oil Changes

Oil changes are one of the most important services when it comes to the performance and longevity of your vehicle. Driving conditions and habits, though, play a role in how long your engine oil will last. Thanks to Maintenance Minder™ equipped inside newer MDX models, you will know exactly when the oil in your engine is due for a change.

When there is less than 15 percent of oil life left, you will see a message appear on the multi-information display, letting you know the engine oil will need to be changed soon. Once this goes down to five percent, it is recommended to schedule any oil change as soon as possible. At the very least, this service should be done once a year.

Other Services Needed

With Maintenance Minder™, you might also see a range of numbers as well as either the letter “A” or “B” when an alert appears that it is time to have your Acura MDX serviced. The letter “A” simply means to have the engine oil replaced. If you see the letter “B”, then you will need to have parts like the brakes, suspension components, driveshaft boots, and fuel lines and connections all inspected on top of getting the oil changed.

After that, you may see any number from “1” to “7” as well. These each indicate certain services your MDX will also need. You can always refer to your owner’s manual to see what each one represents. As an example, if you see the number “1”, you’ll need to have the tires rotated. When the number “5” is shown, the engine coolant is ready to be replaced.
