n Resetting the Engine Oil Life
If you change or
replace the vehicle’s engine oil yourself, you must reset the engine oil
life. Use the right selector wheel on the steering wheel to make selections in the driver
information interface.
Whee lRight Selector
Set the power mode to ON. Roll the wheel until the oil life displays in the driver information
interface.
Press the wheel for at least 10 seconds, until you enter reset mode.
Select All Items Due, then press the wheel. The maintenance items disappear, and the
engine oil life display returns to 100%.
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
Engine Coolant
Park the vehicle on level ground. Check the reserve tank and the coolant level in the radiator.
We specify Acura Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2.
n
Checking the Coolant Lev

el
Open the hatch and remove the driver’s side engine cover (see
page 183).
If the coolant level in the reserve tank is below the MIN mark,
add the specified coolant until it reaches the MAX mark.
Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
Reserve Tank MAXMIN
If temperatures consistently below −22°F (−30°C) are expected, the coolant mixture should
be changed to a higher concentration. Consult your authorized Acura NSX dealer for more
information.

SPECIFICATIONSMAINTENANCE
• If possible, remove the vehicle from the garage or enclosed area, remove covering, and
periodically run the engine until it reaches full operating temperature (the cooling fan cycles
on and off twice). Preferably, do this once a month.
•
To maintain the High V

oltage battery, drive your vehicle for more than 30 minutes at least
once every three months.
If road conditions are not suitable or desirable for driving, the following alternate procedure can
be used to maintain the vehicle’s High Voltage battery if local laws permit idling:
1.
Remove

the vehicle from the garage or enclosed area to prevent carbon monoxide
accumulation.
2.
Depress the brake pedal and pr

ess the ENGINE START/STOP button as you normally would
to start the vehicle.
3.
Allow the vehicle

to run for 30 minutes. Time spent at idle stop still counts as part of this
30-minute run.
Paint Care
Your vehicle’s paint requires up to 60 days from the production date to fully cure. During this
time, avoid applying any wax or paint sealant-type products, as they could hinder the curing
process and affect the paint’s durability.
You may polish the paint during these 60 days if the polishes do not contain any wax or paint
sealant ingredients. Use only clean, high-quality microfiber towels or pads, as they are softer
material and have less chance of scratching the finish. It is absolutely necessary to keep the
microfiber towels or pads properly cleaned and maintained before using on your vehicle.
For more information, contact an authorized Acura NSX dealer. n
