Engine Oil
The SAE numbers tell you the oil's
viscosity or weight. Select the oil for
your car according to this chart.
Ambient Temperature
An oil with a viscosity of 10W-30 is
preferred for improved fuel economy
and year-round protection in your
Acura. You may use a 5W-30 oil if the
temperature in your area never gets
above freezing (0° C/32° F).
Additives
Your Acura does not need any oil
additives. Purchasing additives for
the engine or transmission will not
increase your car's performance or
longevity. It only increases the cost of
operating your car.
Oil and Filter Changes
Always change the oil and filter ac-
cording to the time and distance
recommendations in the mainte-
nance schedule. The oil and filter
collect contaminants that can damage
your engine if they are not removed
regularly.
Changing the oil and filter requires
special tools and access from under-
neath the car. The car should be
raised on a service station-type
hydraulic lift for this service. Unless
you have the knowledge and proper
equipment, you should have this
maintenance done by a skilled
mechanic.
OIL DRAIN BOLT
1. Run the engine until it reaches
normal operating temperature,
then shut if off.
2. Remove the engine oil fill cap.
Remove the oil drain bolt from the
bottom of the engine. Drain the oil
into an appropriate container.
