Maintenance Minder Service Codes
These codes indicate what services are due on your vehicle.
*1: If the message Maintenance Due Now does not appear more than 12 months after the display
is reset, change the engine oil every year.
# : See information on maintenance and emissions warranty.
*2: If you drive in dusty conditions, replace the air cleaner element every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
*3: If you drive primarily in urban areas that have high concentrations of soot in the air from industry
and diesel-powered vehicles, replace the dust and pollen filter every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).

Inspect brake hoses and lines (Including ABS/VSA)

*4: Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds or trailer towing results in higher
transmission temperature. This requires transmission fluid changes more frequently than
recommended by the Maintenance Minder. If you regularly drive your vehicle under these
conditions, have the transmission fluid changed at 30,000 miles (48,000 km).
*5: If you drive regularly in very high temperatures (over 110°F, 43°C), in very low temperatures
(under -20°F, -29°C), replace every 60,000 miles/100,000 km.
*6: Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds or trailer towing results in higher level
of mechanical (Shear) stress to fluid. This requires differential fluid changes more frequently
than recommended by the Maintenance Minder. If you regularly drive your vehicle under these
conditions, have the differential fluid changed at 7,500 miles (12,000 km), then every 15,000
miles
(24,000 km).

Engine Oil
Park the vehicle on level ground, and wait approximately three minutes after
turning the engine off before you check the oil.
Checking the Oil
1. Remove the dipstick (orange loop).
2. Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth or paper
towel.
3. Insert the dipstick all the way back into its hole.
4. Remove the dipstick again, and check the level. It
should be between the upper and lower marks.
Add oil if necessary.
Upper mark
Lower mark
Recommended Engine Oil
Premium-grade 0W-20 detergent oil with an API Certi cation Seal on the
container
This seal indicates the oil is energy conserving and
that it meets the American Petroleum Institute’s
latest requirements.
Use Genuine Acura Motor Oil or another
commercial engine oil of suitable viscosity for the
ambient temperature as shown.
You may also use synthetic motor oil if it is labeled with the API Certifi cation Seal
and is of the specifi ed viscosity grade.
Ambient temperature
Adding Oil
1. Unscrew and remove the engine oil fi ll cap.
2. Add oil slowly.
3. Reinstall the engine oil fi ll cap, and tighten it
securely.
4. Wait for three minutes and recheck the engine
oil dipstick.
Do not fi ll the engine oil above the upper mark. Overfi lling the engine oil can
result in leaks and engine damage.
Failure to reset the engine oil life after a maintenance service results in the
system showing incorrect maintenance intervals, which can lead to serious
mechanical problems.
NOTICE
