Acura recommends using synthetic oils that feature the Starburst certification symbol clearly on the front of the bottle. If you choose to use synthetic oil, it is recommended to use Mobile 1. However, when possible, using Honda-brand motor oil is preferred because it provides the highest level of engine protection and protects the warranty. It is important to note that Acura models do not make a specific recommendation for installing a particular engine oil, as long as the correct weight grade is used. The owner’s manual for each Acura model will provide the recommended oil weight grade and API certification.
