Why Does Your Car Need an Oil Change?

Clean engine oil lubricates your engine. As it does its work, it gets dirty. It catches contaminants or particles that could pollute your engine. So, as the oil becomes dirtier, it becomes less and less effective as a lubricant. That means it needs to be changed. Even the highest quality oil needs to be flushed and replaced on a regular basis. Count on the experts at our service center in Sarasota, FL, to treat your Acura right.

Oil Change FAQ

Here are some frequently asked questions about oil changes for Acura vehicles:

How often should I get an oil change for my Acura?

For newer vehicles, Acura generally recommends getting an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Of course, this depends on the model and driving conditions. Pay attention to Acura’s Maintenance Minder codes available in many newer Acura models for more specific guidance.

What type of oil should I use for my Acura?

Acura typically recommends a high-quality synthetic oil for optimal performance and engine protection. The specific grade (like 0W-20 or 5W-30) will depend on your vehicle model, so it’s important to check your owner’s manual for the recommended oil type.

Can I change my Acura’s oil myself, or should I go to a dealership?

If you’re comfortable with car maintenance, it’s certainly doable. However, going to an Acura dealership or certified mechanic ensures that genuine Acura parts and the correct oil type are used, plus they will reset your vehicle’s maintenance system properly.
