Stop! Checking your brake fluid from time to time is a great way to ensure safe stopping
Properly inflated tires is the easiest way to improve fuel economy. The right tire pressure is NOT on the side of your tire btw
Sure you can take it in for a $19 lube, but are you OK with a stripped oil pan and cheap parts in return?

Checking the oil in a MDX is fairly easy and should be done once a month. Note that most Acura have an oil pressure gauge next to the speedometer - this gauge does not tell you what your oil level is, but rather uses an oil sensor to indicate the oil pressure in the engine. If you have an oil light illuminate in your MDX, this means your oil pressure is either high or low. The video above will show you how to check the oil level in your 2009 Acura MDX by taking an accurate dipstick reading. Make sure your engine is cold when you check the oil in your MDX. Otherwise the dipstick will read slightly low. In addition to checking the oil level, you also want to look at the condition of the oil when you have the dipstick out. If the oil in your MDX is dirty or smells like gasoline, you probably need an oil change.
If you notice that the oil level in your MDX is extremely low or empty, fill it up and check it again the next time you drive. If it is extremely low again, have your mechanic take a look before driving it much more.
