What the Maintenance Minder Does

The Maintenance Minder tracks real-time data - engine load, operating temperature, driving habits, speed, and more - to determine when services are truly needed. When maintenance is due, you'll see a code appearing in your dash's maintenance display.

Below are common codes and what they mean.

Breaking Down Acura Maintenance Codes

Main Codes

• A - Replace engine oil only
• B - Replace engine oil, oil filter, inspect other systems

Sub codes specify additional services such as tire rotation, filter changes, fluid replacements, and more.

Typical Sub Codes

• 1 - Tire rotation
• 2 - Replace engine air filter + cabin air filter
• 3 - Replace transmission fluid
• 4 - Replace spark plugs
• 5 - Replace engine coolant

To support these scheduled services, be sure to stock up on genuine Acura parts like:

• Acura Cabin Air Filters
• Acura Engine Air Filters

Local servicing using OEM components ensures Acura's service recommendations align seamlessly with your vehicle's maintenance system.

OEM Parts and Maintenance

Using OEM-quality parts and fluids ensures long-term reliability:

• Choose the right oil type from Oil Types listings like 0W-20 or 5W-20.
• Replace filters when Maintenance Minder recommends it.
• Choose appropriate transmission fluids and coolant solutions.

Acura parts specialists can help you identify exactly what's needed for your specific maintenance plan.

Resetting the Maintenance Minder

After a service appointment (oil change, filter replacement, etc.), the system needs to be reset so it can continue tracking accurately. Acura service menu and dashboard prompts walk you through this process.
