My car is a little over 4 months old and has 9800 miles. I have only taken it for its first oil change at around 6300 and < 20%. I haven't received my A1 notification yet. 90% of my miles are highway miles. Is this normal? Should I be concerned? I also wanna know if anyone else is experiencing this or how many miles did you have when A1 popped up. I'm talking about > 7500 miles

I think I did my A1 back at 4800, not too certain, will have to check. About 30% of my miles are highway miles

With 90% highway miles, I'm not suprised. You were actually supposed to wait until A1 to get the oil changed according to Acura. I think you might hold the A1 service record at 9800 miles!

Really? I wasn't told that. I usually follow what the MID says. At that rate I would've been driving my car with 0% in the oil indication lol. I should reach 10K miles by Wednesday. Let's see if it shows up or not. I just hope the geniuses at my dealer did not disconnect any of those sensors while they committed their "human error"

Would not the computer be reset when you got your oil changed? I do not think you are going to get an A1 until your next oil change (or maybe the next one after that if it is A2)...

Yeah at about 15%, the MID says "Service Due Soon A1", and then at 10% it changes to something else I think, and at 5%, it will say "Service Due Now A1" If you go below 0%, it will say the overdue and the amount of miles driven while on overdue message.

It probably doesn't matter anyway. Although, I wouldn't have been able to go 10K miles without changing my oil either.

so does that mean i should've waited until < 15% then it would've said A1? A1 is just rotating the tires right? so i can just get them rotated at the next oil change. or am i missing something with A1 and there's more to it than an oil change and topping off liquids? and will this affect when A2 or B1 or etc. display?

Got my A1 (oil change only; I reminded the dealer that I get free tire rotations from Discount Tire where I bought my Michelins) done today at 5001 miles (after almost ten months). I think the indicator came on at 4800 or so.

They also replaced my seat memory module and performed the trans recall (no inspection needed because my car is under 15000 miles, they just installed the oil jet).

The entire service would have been oil change and tire rotation according to my service advisor.
