Noob Oil Question
So I have had my 2007 TSX at Zero miles and I am approaching 60,000 miles.
When my oil life hits 50% I get a message sometimes on my dash saying check oil level. Now today I got a message saying Check Emission System and Check VSA System. I took the car to the dealership, their saying I need to check the oil level every 3rd gas fill up and add more oil if it needs it.
Not sure if this is right there is no other Acura dealership in my area, so I can't get an second opinion.
Tell me if this true I need to do as they say or could there be something wrong with my car engine.

A search would have found that TSX's burn oil. Most people add .5 to 1 qt every 5000 miles. Since you're getting a message at about 2500 to 3000, you might be burning a little more. Honda calls up to about a qt/1000 miles "normal" function.
Now, from your question, it's implied that the two check lights were related to the oil level. Could you clarify?
