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. Open the hood and remove the

engine oil fill cap. Remove the oil
drain bolt and washer 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.
