Late maintenance?

I have a B1 service due now for my 08 TL, and Im sure the MID will go down to 0% in a few days. However I wont be able to change it until next weekend. Will it void the warranty? And i was assuming that having a couple of miles over the due is fine?

no it won't void the waranty. It is just there to remind you when maint. is due. It's up to you to get it service when you have time but don't wait too long.

you dont even have to have the dealer service it to maintain warranty
Any licensed shop is fine- use correct oil and stick with honda brand fluid in the power steering when its due
You can even DIY and keep receipts with date and miles, use the log in your acura.com account and thats proof enough if a warranty claim ever arises

Dealer is good for checking your cars VIN to be sure all recalls have been taken care of, one may come out you dont know about
Or you can call acura or look in your account for recalls

If you go over the mileage by a little bit, it should be fine. Just remember that when you go to the dealer, don't fall for the service packages. All you will need is an oil change, tire rotation and just a quick check of fluids.

may as well check your own fluids- only a few to look at in the engine area, have the shop rotate tires and do the oil and filter change
