Car Forum / Acura Cars / July 2004Maintenance Interval
Acura's website suggests maintenance intervals of 6000km or 3 months, whichever comes first. Yet, my owner's manual says 6000km or *6* months. Which is it? And why the discrepency? I need to make sure that the conditions of my extended warranty are respected. -- Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. >Acura's website suggests maintenance intervals of 6000km or 3 months, >whichever comes first.

Interestingly, I just check the web site and my interval is listed as 8000km or *4* months. In the book, it says: 8000km or *6* months. I will go with the manual on this one as no one at Acura (nor a small claim court judge) would argue that the maintenance that followed the official printed manual schedule was not appropriate. I will email Acura just to be safe... > I'd go with the manual.However. Interestingly, I just check the > web site and my interval is listed as 8000km or *4* months.

I have always gone on 3 months / 5000km as my high school auto teacher taught us. You pay $30K plus for a car and quibble over $30-$45 for an oil change. Take your car in every three months or 2 K miles and be done with it. I never use a dealer. I use a local guy who only works on Honda, Toyota cars. One man shop...Mom & Pop business. I get to talk directly with the mechanic. Neal > > I'd go with the manual.However. Interestingly, I just check the > > web site and my interval is listed as 8000km or *4* months.
