The maint reg light goes on every 7500 miles to let you know that it is time to change the oil ;)

Acura also does that so you can take it to them and get ripped off

The main't light will come on about every 7500-10,000 judging by the way you drive the car. Oil changes every 3K miles, but Honda/acura recommends a main't service every 7.5K miles -- 7.5K, 15K, 22.5K, 30K, 37.5K, 45K, 52.5K, 60K, 67.5K, 75K, 82.5K, etc, etc, etc. So the service that your most likely due for is the 75K, you can get a list/prices from any dealer or take the list some where else to have it done cheaper.

Your also getting close to the timing belt replacement - 75K, t/belt, w/pump - about $1000 at the dealer. When you do replace the timing, also do the water pump & any drive belts. Don't be cheap & not do the water pump or its gonna cost you more $$$$ in the long run. Its just stupid not to replace the water pump, if it hasn't been changed, while doing the timing belt.
