How often should I service my 2018 Acura MDX?
Take care of your Acura MDX and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your MDX. 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 2018 Acura MDX!
This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Acura themselves. 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 fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your MDX's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2018 Acura MDX problems in the future.
Bring your 2018 Acura MDX to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. 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 2018 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Acura MDX battery, and so can frequent short drives. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty MDX) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Acura MDX won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2018 Acura MDX.
