Well, the manual says you should start it every 90 days to charge the hybrid battery. I started it in January but forgot to put it in the right mode to charge. So I ran it for about 15 minutes, saw no increase in charge level and shut it off to figure out why there was no increase in charge. I...

Mine was on a regular battery tender all last winter. It was fine. Started right up in the spring.

Just sent you an email requesting access, NSXPrime. Thanks in advance for granting access.

I sent my request for access about 2 months ago. Haven’t heard a word and still don’t have access.

Anyone know if the premium leather seats are coated with polyurethane paint or just the exposed real leather? I’m trying to figure out whether to do a leather treatment this winter or just clean them because they’re painted. Thanks in advance.

The NSX cover is very nice and well made. Unfortunately, I don't know why the photo got rotated when I uploaded it.

Try Ralph Kolius at Chevy Chase Acura in Chevy Chase, MD and Sebastian Wrobel in Muller's Woodfield Acura in Hoffman Estates, IL. Both of these dealers had Valencia Red cars when I was in the market about a month ago. Both cars are loaded. Both were good with which to deal but Sebastian went...

Megatran: i purchased my car on October 14 from Acura of Rochester. I had narrowed my search down to two cars, one at Acura of Rochester and the second from a dealer in the Chicago area. The dealer in the Chicago area is the one who quoted me the $7500 minimum finance amount and no penalty for...

Lift is no problem. I’ve got one. I was quoted between $300 and $400 for an oil change. The nearest NSX certified dealer to me (100 miles away) who has not sold one yet, claims that he can’t do an oil change because the car is too low for his lifts. I’m not sure I believe this. I wonder how he...

Anyone found detailed instructions for doing an oil change? I’d like to do an oil change on my NSX before I put it away for the winter but the Acurazine link doesn’t appear to give complete information. I’ve got one of those devices that will suck oil out of the crankcase. I wonder if that...

Anyone know what's required to gain access to the Owners Discussion Forum for Generation 2? I sent an email to the NSXPrime about a week or so ago with my date of purchase and my serial number but have not been granted access. Anyone know what the requirements are? FerrariChat has this crazy...

How about lane departure warning and blind spot warning. Even my 2015 Tahoe has those features. I'll second the seat height adjustment request.

The word from a reputable dealer to whom I talked is that you can pay off after 3 months and that the minimum finance amount is $7500. There is no penalty for paying off early.

Besides the fact that the ceramics are better brakes, they keep your wheels clean so I’m going with them just for that reason.

I should be picking up my NSX next Saturday. I've been reading the manual. It says that the oil cannot be changed by the owner. One of the things that I enjoy about car ownership and maintenance is the oil change. Anyone know how cumbersome it would be to change my own oil? Manual also says...
