When should I come in for Acura MDX differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

What causes a MDX’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

If your MDX has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you clear the MDX check engine light on your own?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your MDX, but it's important to resist the urge.

Does my MDX transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2022 Acura MDX

Your MDX’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Acura, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2022 Acura MDX, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Acura's recommendations.
