The Maintenance Minder is an important feature of the multi-information display. Based on engine and transmission operating conditions, and accumulated engine revolutions, the Acura TSX's onboard computer (ECM/PCM) calculates the remaining engine oil and the transmission fluid life. The system also displays the remaining engine oil life along with the code(s) for other scheduled maintenance items needing service.

- The remaining engine oil life (A) is shown as a percentage on the multi-information display. To see the current engine oil life, turn the ignition switch to ON (II), then push and release the SEL/RESET button repeatedly until the engine oil life displays.
- When the ignition switch is ON (II), and the remaining engine oil life is 15% to 6%, the remaining engine oil life and other scheduled maintenance item(s) needing service are displayed. The Maintenance Minder message "SERVICE DUE SOON" (A) also comes on. To cancel the message, press the INFO button. The display continues to show the remaining engine oil life (B) and the message indicator (C) until it is reset.

- When the ignition switch is ON (II), and the remaining engine oil life is 5 % to 1 %, the Maintenance Minder message "SERVICE DUE NOW" is displayed along with the same maintenance item code(s). If the Maintenance Minder message display is canceled, a "SERVICE" message appears.
- When the ignition switch is ON (II), and the remaining engine oil life is 0 %, the Maintenance Minder message "SERVICE PAST DUE" is displayed along with the same maintenance item code(s).
- If the indicated maintenance is not done, the "SERVICE PAST DUE" message shows a negative distance traveled, for example "10 miles," on the display. If the negative distance traveled is between 0 and 9, the message is displayed for only a few seconds when the ignition switch is turned to ON (II). The negative distance traveled (A) remains displayed after the vehicle is driven more than 10 miles (for USA models) or 10 km (for Canada models) after 0 % oil life is reached, and the display cannot be canceled. This means the indicated maintenance item(s) should have been done more than 10 miles (or 10 km) ago.
