Why check the motor oil level in my Acura ILX?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your ILX’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

Can I change my Acura oil on my own?

Acura recommends changing your 2020 ILX’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your ILX in the above table. No matter the mileage, your ILX may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Acura if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Acura ILX. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
