The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

The 2022 Acura MDX service and repair manual is matched to this exact model year, to both engines and to all four trims, so the specifications and sequences are the ones that actually apply to your MDX rather than a neighboring year.

Engines

  • 3.5L V6 — 3471cc (212 cu in), SOHC, naturally aspirated, gas
  • 3.0L V6 — 2997cc (183 cu in), DOHC, turbocharged, gas

Trims

  • SH-AWD Sport Utility 4-Door
  • Base Sport Utility 4-Door
  • Type S Sport Utility 4-Door
  • Advance Sport Utility 4-Door

Known issues on the 2022 MDX. One recall is on federal record for this model year, on the front-passenger occupant-classification air bag sensor: an air bag that deploys unintentionally during a crash can increase the risk of injury. Owners have filed 174 complaints for the year, and 249 technical service bulletins have been issued.

From a routine service interval to an occupant-detection fault or a driveability complaint on the turbocharged engine, it keeps you on the factory procedure and the correct specification for your 2022 MDX.
