Engine Oil

Changing the Oil and Filter

Always change the oil and filter

according to the time and distance

(miles/kilometers) recommenda-

tions in the maintenance schedule.

The oil and filter collect contami-

nants that can damage your engine if
they are not removed regularly.

Changing the oil and filter requires
special tools and access from
underneath 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.

1. Run the engine until it reaches

normal operating temperature,
then shut it 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.

3. Remove the oil filter and let the

remaining oil drain. A special

wrench (available from your Acura

dealer) is required to remove the

filter.

4. Install a new oil filter according to

instructions that come with it.
