So, what about my other points? Like the lights, etc.?

I have another quesiton for a delaer like person. But I'll take that to another topic. Follw me there, ok?

At my dealership, we do free oil changes on every car that we sell for as long as that customer owns the car. Once the cars show 15% or below, we will change it for free. They are actually changing my oil this very second. Seriously, it's on the lift right now. On my way to work today, it flashed 15% and my A1 service, so I brought it in and they're changing it. Pretty easy. I didn't get all worked up that it beeped at me.

If my car telling me it's time to perform service on it got me so worked up that I had to post online about how stupid it was, I might want to cut out some of the stress in my life. I'll take that "nag" any day of the week over alot of other cars out there that have check engine lights come on randomly.

A good write up on the pros and cons of DRLs:

Personally I find DRL's a good idea in theory but generally poor in their implementation. I'd prefer a way to turn them off when desired and consider the lack of a switch in the RDX a drawback (albeit fairly insignificant).

My oil in Both the Acuras in my household(07 RDX Tech and 06 RL) get changed when the timer hits 0%, and that's not hurting anything. If I had free oil changes for life though, I would change my tune real quick.

Just did a little searching....your dealership actually charges a "nominal" fee for every car you sell(your words from another thread), so it's not really free is it?

A good deal, depending on where you are located in relation to where you bought the car...but NOT free.
