Oil Type for a 2008 Acura CSX Type-S
The 2008 Acura CSX Type-S takes 5W-30 motor oil. Both the 2.0L and 2.0L Type-S engines in the CSX have an oil capacity of 4.2-4.4L for a service fill and 5.3-5.5L for a dry fill, with a 0.2L oil filter capacity.
5W-30 oil is a common viscosity recommended for many newer cars. The “5W” refers to its weight in winter, and the “30” is its weight in summer. This multi-grade oil provides good protection against wear during all seasons.
Some other types of oil that can be used include synthetic, synthetic-blend, or conventional 5W-30 oils. Synthetic and synthetic blends may provide better protection and longer drain intervals than conventional oil. But the CSX engine is flexible and can use different oil types as long as it meets the recommended viscosity grade.
