Additional Notes

  • Across all four configurations of the Acura MDX YD1, the brake fluid level specification is expressed as a range rather than a fixed volume, with the reservoir kept between the minimum and maximum marks on the hydraulic brake system reservoir.
  • A monthly check interval applies to all configurations under normal use conditions, reflecting how frequently brake fluid level should be verified rather than replaced.
  • A 36-month change interval applies uniformly across the 2001-2006 MDX YD1 in both Canadian and American markets, meaning brake fluid in the hydraulic system is due for full replacement every three years under normal use.
  • The Canadian and American market variants share identical check and change intervals for both the 2001-2002 and 2003-2006 model year groupings, with no deviation in the 36-month replacement schedule between the two markets.
  • The specifications are divided into two distinct model year groupings, 2001-2002 and 2003-2006, across both markets, though the brake fluid service intervals remain the same within each grouping.
