How often should I come in for Acura RDX differential service?

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

Is it possible to reset the RDX malfunction warning light on my own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your RDX’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems.
