Engine Oil
The oil container may also display
the API Certification seal. Make sure
it says "For Gasoline Engines."
The SAE numbers tell you the oil's
viscosity or weight. Select the oil for
your car according to this chart.
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 goes
below 32° F(0°C).
Synthetic Oil
You may use a synthetic motor oil if
it meets the same requirements
given for conventional motor oil:
energy conserving, a service
classification of SJ, and the proper
weight as shown on the chart. When
using synthetic oil, you must follow
the oil and filter change intervals
given in the maintenance schedule.
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.
