Should I check my Acura ILX motor oil level?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Acura ILX engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

Can I change my Acura oil on my own?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
