• Oil and filter service: Fresh synthetic oil protects your engine, supports fuel efficiency, and reduces wear during frequent short trips.
• Tire rotation and alignment: Rotations promote even wear; an alignment helps correct vibration or pulling after potholes, curbs, or rough surfaces.
• Brake inspection and service: Pad and rotor inspections, cleaning, and precise replacements help maintain confident stops in stop-and-go traffic.
• Battery testing and replacement: Load testing verifies cranking power and overall health for reliable starts and stable power to onboard technology.
• Transmission service: Fluid inspections and changes at recommended intervals help preserve smooth shifts and long-term durability.
• AWD differential and transfer case service: For SH-AWD models, fresh fluids support quiet operation and optimal torque distribution.
• Cabin air filter and HVAC care: A clean filter helps the HVAC system breathe easier and keeps interior air feeling fresh for passengers.

Our advisors tailor each visit to what your MDX needs now and what you should plan for next. We will review findings with you, answer questions, and schedule future maintenance at a pace that makes sense for your driving routine.

Your actual intervals may shift based on how and where you drive — frequent short trips, extended idling, stop-and-go along the Bronx River Parkway, and regular highway cruising can each affect timing. Our advisors will review your driving pattern and align services with your Maintenance Minder codes so you complete the right items at the right time. Between visits, check tire pressures monthly, keep an eye on tread wear, and note any changes in braking, shifting, or steering feel. Addressing small changes early often prevents larger repairs later.

1. Every 6 months or 7,500 miles: Perform synthetic oil and filter change, rotate tires, inspect brakes and steering components, check and top off fluids, and review the vehicle for any open service campaigns.
2. Every 12 months or 15,000 miles: Replace the cabin air filter as needed, inspect the engine air filter, measure brake pad and rotor thickness, inspect suspension and exhaust, check alignment if you notice pulling or uneven wear, and evaluate wiper blades.
3. Every 24 months or 30,000 miles: Exchange brake fluid, inspect or replace transmission fluid per model-year guidance, service rear differential and transfer case fluid on SH-AWD models when indicated, and inspect the cooling system hoses and coolant condition.
4. Every 36 months or 45,000 miles: Conduct a comprehensive inspection of belts and hoses, evaluate suspension bushings and struts for wear, test the battery and charging system, verify HVAC performance, and road-test to assess drivability under load.
5. Every 60 months or 60,000-75,000 miles: Replace transmission and differential fluids as indicated by your Maintenance Minder and model year, evaluate spark plugs for replacement on applicable engines, exchange engine coolant, and inspect timing components — some MDX engines use a timing belt that must be replaced at a manufacturer-specified interval, often together with the water pump. Always confirm specifics for your model year.
6. As-needed monitoring: Replace tires when tread depth nears 4/32 inch or if you see irregular wear; service brakes promptly if you notice vibration or squeal; address warning lights without delay; and ask us to check for software updates that can enhance performance and system reliability.

This framework dovetails with Acura’s Maintenance Minder codes (A/B with numeric subcodes), which our technicians interpret at each visit to ensure no critical item is missed. If you have questions about how your MDX’s reminders translate into real-world service, our team at Curry Acura will walk you through each step and help you map out an easy, predictable plan that fits your calendar and budget.
