2005 Acura MDX Maintenance Schedule

You want your Acura MDX to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your MDX has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your MDX, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2005 Acura MDX!

Acura knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your MDX perform better, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2005 Acura MDX problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2005 Acura MDX for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your MDX’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2005 Acura MDX? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your MDX may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Acura MDX battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Acura MDX won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2005 Acura MDX engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2005 MDX. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2005 Acura MDX.
