two weeks ago, I had an Oil Change, Fuel Injection and Transmission fluid change. Now my Oil indicator is saying the MDX is at 90 % already. I’ve had this MDX for since 2014. what steps exactly should I take to determine if I have this faulty oil consumption problem?

Unless I am wrong that 90% just means how close you are to an oil change . Now if it does actually mean you have used oil then start checking it once a week the old fashioned way . Use the dipstick and you will know for sure .
