My wife has a 2010 Acura RDX. The car is three month old with 4500 miles. But the service reminder already comes up says the car needs oil change. The car uses synthetic oil. I believe synthetic oil lasts longer because my '08 Saab 9-3 uses synthetic as well and the scheduled oil change interval is 10,000 miles or one year. Does the Acura behave reasonably?
When we were buying the car, the dealer pushed very hard for us to buy a service package which include oil change every 3750 miles. I felt something fishy because it didn’t feel right. Is it possible that the dealer tweaked the car’s computer to shorten the oil change interval? Thanks.
