I just hit 52,2xx miles, and the Maintanance Required light just came on. What maint. is it talking about? What should I do about it?

 

just a little reminder for you to service your vehicle... there's a post somewhere here that lists the recommended intervals specified in the owner's manual. there are also posts on here that tell you how to turn the light off... there's a box under the driver's side panel under the steering wheel with a button... you push that within a few seconds of turning your key to the accessory position, and it should turn off. at 50k I think I flushed coolant, brake fluid, tranny fluid, and oil.

 

thanks, good response.

any other thoughts?

 

bunmango 's response and the manual should cover it.

 

just out of curiousity, is this the first time you've seen this light come on? when/where do you normally get your vehicle serviced?

 

i take mine to the acura dealership

 

I bought the car when it had about 47k on it, so this is the first time i've ever seen it on. I have been changing the oil regularly but am almost due again.

How much does it cost to have Acura do these typical maintance changes? I can do them all, but I am also busy, so having them do it might be good for me?

 

Your going to get bent over if you take it to the dealership for simple stuff like that. Unless you bought the car new from them, in which case they sometimes have killer deals on mantainence that would be worth not spending your own time.

Time is money.
