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.
