Can Acura drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Yes. Servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. A bad drivetrain can put more stress on other vehicle components.

How do I know if my Acura drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Acura RL? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

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

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

What triggers the malfunction indicator light (MIL) in a RL?

If your RL 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 reset your RL’s malfunction warning light at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your RL's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your RL.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my RL?

A drivetrain malfunction in your RL should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my RL?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your RL is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
