How often should you get an oil change?

• Follow the schedule in your owner’s manual and service minder indicators; many modern 3.5L V6 Acura models recommend service intervals that depend on driving conditions.
• For city or heavy traffic driving, shorter intervals help counter increased heat and idling; highway driving may allow extended intervals with synthetic oil.
• Nalley Acura technicians will advise the optimal interval for your driving habits and record it in your service history to protect warranties and resale value.
• Properly timed oil changes reduce the risk of costly repairs and provide real long‑term savings over reactive maintenance performed outside a certified dealership.

What type of oil does an 2010 Acura TSX take?

• Acura recommends using oil that meets Honda/Acura specifications; many 3.5L V6 engines perform best with full synthetic oil for consistent viscosity and protection.
• Common viscosities such as 5W‑20 or the specific grade listed in your owner’s manual are typical; Nalley Acura uses the correct OEM‑recommended oil to preserve performance and warranty coverage.
• Using genuine oil and filters at our dealership reduces wear, improves fuel economy, and helps avoid problems that could affect warranty eligibility—any warranty work must be completed at a certified dealership.
• Our technicians will confirm the correct oil specification during service and document it in your vehicle record for future reference and resale value.

How much oil does an 2010 Acura TSX need?

• The 3.5L V6 engine oil capacity is approximately 4.5–5.0 quarts with a filter change; the exact amount depends on the service procedure and should be verified per the owner’s manual.
• Nalley Acura measures and tops off oil precisely to factory specifications to avoid overfilling or underfilling, both of which can harm engine performance.
• We include an oil level check and a post‑service inspection to ensure correct fill and proper operation; documented service preserves warranty and vehicle history.
• Using the correct volume and recommended oil type at a certified dealership provides immediate protection and long‑term savings by reducing wear and preventing premature repairs.
