Is it Time for an Oil Change?
Owner's Manual
There are many indicators that will help you figure out if you need an oil change. First and foremost, always refer to your owner's manual and find out the oil change interval for your specific vehicle.
Dashboard Light
Most modern vehicles feature an oil life monitor that will let you know if your oil needs to be changed or is low. Keep an eye out for this light.
Check Your Engine Oil
If you are familiar with your engine bay, you can always pull the oil dipstick and check the oil level and condition. If the oil level is low, make sure to top it up, and if it has become extremely dark, visit your local Acura service centre.
Listen to Your Engine
Engine oil is designed to lubricate and keep the engine cool. If there is an issue with the oil in your engine, you will certainly hear or feel abnormalities.
