2025 Acura MDX Oil Change Schedule
Change the oil in your 2025 Acura MDX every 7,500 miles or once a year. Whichever comes first keeps your engine strong.
Your MDX runs on 0W-20 synthetic oil. This oil resists breakdown better than conventional types. You enjoy longer intervals than in older vehicles. The Maintenance Minder system monitors your driving habits and engine conditions. It displays an alert on your dashboard when service approaches. Follow these alerts for peak performance.
Services Included in Oil Changes
At every 7,500 miles, technicians handle these tasks:
- Replace engine oil and filter
- Rotate tires for even wear
- Check brakes, fluids, lights, and other parts
The 15,000-mile service repeats the oil change, tire rotation, and full inspection. These steps catch problems early and cut repair costs.

Practical Tips for Oil Changes
Follow these steps to make oil changes easy:
- Combine oil changes with tire rotations. Both occur every 7,500 miles. One visit saves time and money.
- Drive in severe conditions? High heat over 100°F, dusty roads, or short trips under 5 miles mean change every 5,000 miles.
- Check your dashboard weekly. The Maintenance Minder light signals service time.
- Pick a trusted shop. Use OEM filters to meet Acura specs.
- Record each service. Note dates and miles for warranty records.
Skip oil changes and sludge builds in your engine. Sludge cuts fuel economy and shortens engine life. Steady care boosts resale value.

Your synthetic oil reduces friction for smoother rides and better MPG. The Maintenance Minder adapts to your habits: city drivers get alerts sooner than highway drivers. Technicians reset it after service. Owners report 20% fewer surprise repairs with regular oil changes. Tire rotations add 5,000 miles to tread life. Inspections spot belt and hose issues early.
