Hi, I just purchased an RDX with SH-AWD and Tech package 2 nights ago. I used to frequent this site when I had an '01 CL, but glad to be back with a new toy now.

Any tips/recommendations from owners that I wouldn't easily find in the manual or on the Acura site?

 

congrats on the new ride~

 

Congrats on your new RDX! I also came from a CL (2003 Type-S) to the RDX. The CL was an awesome ride but the RDX is just down right fun with it's SH-AWD and sporty drive feel. My tip... Enjoy it and have some fun!!!

 

Thanks, Carbon. I'm contemplating going for a ride this afternoon. FYI, I'm in the northern suburbs of Philly - "ground zero" for this blizzard.

 

I don't know how bad the snow is at your "ground zero" but if the roads are semi plowed I'd say go have some fun! If not, or for later, this is a pretty good video. Just copy this link into your browser. http://vimeo.com/2551840

There are a couple threads on this forum that concern "undocumented" features, if you have the DVD audio system there are some sound field adjustments that were documented there that you may have fun playing with on DVS-A and DTS disks.

Enjoy.
Watch out for carpet wear next to the dead pedal if you have the all weather matts from Acura. At < 60k miles I have had the carpet replaced, and now it has worked through again.

 

You can use Pennzoil Platinum and the new Pennzoil Ultra as alternatives to the Mobil 1 oil Acura promotes.
