Engine Oil
Park the vehicle on level ground, and wait approximately three minutes after
turning the power system off before you check the oil.
Checking the Oil
1. Remove the dipstick (orange loop).
2. Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth or paper
towel.
3. Insert the dipstick all the way back into its hole.
4. Remove the dipstick again, and check the level. It
should be between the upper and lower marks.
Add oil if necessary.

Recommended Engine Oil
Genuine Acura Motor Oil
Premium-grade 0W-20 detergent oil with an API Certification Seal on the
container
This seal indicates the oil is energy conserving and
that it meets the American Petroleum Institute’s
latest requirements.
Use Genuine Acura Motor Oil or another
commercial engine oil of suitable viscosity for the
ambient temperature as shown.
You may also use synthetic motor oil if it is labeled with the API Certification Seal
and is of the specified viscosity grade.
Ambient temperature
Adding Oil
1. Unscrew and remove the engine oil fill cap.
2. Add oil slowly.
3. Reinstall the engine oil fill cap, and tighten it
securely.
4. Wait for three minutes and recheck the engine
oil dipstick.
Do not fill the engine oil above the upper mark. Overfilling the engine oil can result
in leaks and engine damage.
NOTICE
Failure to reset the engine oil life after a maintenance service results in the system
showing incorrect maintenance intervals, which can lead to serious mechanical
problems.
NOTICE
Resetting the Engine Oil Life
If you change or replace the vehicle’s engine oil yourself, you must reset the
engine oil life. Use the right selector wheel on the steering wheel to make
selections in the MID.
1. Scroll to Maintenance Info and select it to
display the oil life reset mode.
2. Select Reset. The service code disappears and
the oil life returns to 100%.
Inverter Coolant
Park the vehicle on level ground. Check the reserve tank and the coolant level in the
radiator with each fuel refill. We recommend Acura Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant
Type 2.
Checking the Reserve Tank
Add coolant up to the MAX line.
If the coolant level is below the MIN mark, have
your dealer service your vehicle.
