I already had my A service completed roughly 2 months ago and had my tires rotated during the inspection as well. So its kind of weird that it would show that I need to get those done again even though the maintenance minder is displaying an oil life of 90%.
Are you in Canada? US should get a B instead of 0.
The 0 means to change oil and oil filter. The 1 means rotate tires.
Yup i'm in Canada.

I think it's just giving a heads-up of what is next in case you go in early. Tire rotation needs to be done with every service.
I'm at 70% now and it's showing 'A'. It will be my 3rd service.
Quick question, just to make sure I'm understanding this right since the Maintenance Minder system is a little different than what I'm used to with Volvo and BMW where they just tell you how many miles remain till service due/estimated date of service due and have mileage intervals printed in the owner's manual. Right now in my RDX nothing pops up on the center screen on its own, but if I scroll down to the Oil section it shows Oil Life: 40% and below it is the letter 'A'. I currently have 4594 miles. Does that mean I need to take it in now or do you just wait till the wrench pops up and it explicitly says Maintenance Due Now when you start the car like I saw in this example online. I was thinking it was the latter but wanted to check with you guys to see what you thought. My RDX Currently Example Online Showing Wrench with Explicit Message

Thanks in advance!
A1 means your next service will be oil change and tire rotation. You will start seeing pop up in the instrument panel at around 15% oil life remaining and you should really have the service done at before it reaches 10%. The oil life is calculated based on factors like engine rpm and idle time etc.; the distance between oil change will be different for everyone. My first oil change happened at 8200 miles and the second oil change at 15800 miles. Hope this helps.

Yep, at 15% you'll get a reminder, then another at 10% and 5%. Thereafter it'll show "service due now". I usually note how long it takes to get from 15% to 10% and schedule a service before or when I get to 5%. It is perfectly fine to wait until 5% for servicing.
I believe that the info under the oil % is for what service is "upcoming". I don't think it means do something ASAP. I suspect either a wrench or an orange "i" in a circle will come on just above all the dots near the fuel gauge indicating when service is actually due, not upcoming.

there is upcoming. Service due now, and service past due by xxx miles
