Maintenance Minder
I am not sure my Maintenance Minder is working. I have a 2005 RL with 20,000 miles on it. I have NEVER seen the Maintenance Minder letters or any other indication that I should have a maintenance done. Acura tells me to let the car "tell" me when I need something , but am worried that it may not be telling me something after this many miles. Should I have seen a Maintenance Minder notice by now? Of course, the dealer tells me I need all sorts of "scheduled maintenance" and when you call Acura they tell you that there is no "scheduled maintenance" schedule and that the car will tell me when.
Albeit, I have had the oil changed several times and tires rotated as I have had it in for recalls, etc and the oil would be at 30-40% so I would have them change oil and rotate and balance my tires.
Any suggestions and has anybody else seen reminders by 20,000 miles??

You should definitely be getting reminders every 5000 miles, which is when you should be changing your oil. The manual definitely has a section that informs you as to what maintainance you should be doing and at which intervals you should be doing them.

"One of the most convenient and important features of the multi information display on your vehicle is the maintenance minder.
Based on engine operating conditions and accumulated engine revolutions, the onboard computer in your vehicle calculates the remaining engine oil life.
The system also displays the code for other scheduled maintenance items needing service."
