n Resetting the Engine Oil Life
If you change or
replace the vehicle’s engine oil yourself, you must reset the engine oil
life. Use the right selector wheel on the steering wheel to make selections in the driver
information interface.
Whee lRight Selector
Set the power mode to ON. Roll the wheel until the oil life displays in the driver information
interface.
Press the wheel for at least 10 seconds, until you enter reset mode.
Select All Items Due, then press the wheel. The maintenance items disappear, and the
engine oil life display returns to 100%.
Failure to reset the engine oil life after a maintenance service results in the system showing
incorrect maintenance intervals, which can lead to serious mechanical problems.
NOTICE
Engine Coolant
Park the vehicle on level ground. Check the reserve tank and the coolant level in the radiator.
We specify Acura Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2.
n
Checking the Coolant Lev
el
Open the hatch and remove the driver’s side engine cover (see
page 183).
If the coolant level in the reserve tank is below the MIN mark,
add the specified coolant until it reaches the MAX mark.
Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
Reserve Tank MAXMIN
If temperatures consistently below −22°F (−30°C) are expected, the coolant mixture should
be changed to a higher concentration. Consult your authorized Acura NSX dealer for more
information.
