By using pressure sensors in the engine and calculating speed, temperature, and how long your vehicle operates under more severe conditions.

When the estimated remaining oil life reaches 15%, the system is designed to alert you on your dashboard with a “Service Due Soon (A)” message.

When the system senses that you need to change both oil and filter, it’s designed to alert you on your dashboard with a “Service Due Soon (0 or B)” message.

Other items due for replacement, service, or inspection may be displayed using additional codes (1-9), such as: tires, brakes, filters, spark plugs, and other fluids that can’t be directly monitored.

The system doesn’t have sensors to monitor engine oil level, but it is critical to your engine’s life, so be sure to check your oil level regularly – see owner’s manual for details.

Tire tread depth, brake pad/rotor, and battery life are not possible to monitor. Instead, Maintenance Minder™ recommends service/inspection intervals to reduce unexpected wear out. Your Acura Dealer may alert you during regular service when repair/replacement is necessary.

Maintenance Minder™ does not have sensors to accommodate or predict deterioration caused by things like heavy trailer towing or high dust/soot environments that may require additional filters or fluids maintenance. Your Acura dealership will complete a multi-point inspection to determine if filter or fluid replacement is required.

Maintenance Minder™ is for expected wear components and preventative maintenance only. Leaks, unresolved warning lights, or strange noises should be taken to your Acura Dealer for diagnosis and repair, regardless of Maintenance Minder™ status.
