2018 Acura ILX Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Acura's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Acura ILX? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your ILX’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my ILX's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Acura ILX transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Acura's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Acura ILX leak transmission fluid? Yes. Acura ILX transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
