Why check the motor oil level in my Acura NSX?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your Acura NSX engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

How hard is it to change Acura NSX oil at home?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

Why is my Acura NSX exhaust smoke grayish or blue?

You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

What can cause the oil light on my Acura NSX to illuminate?

Your Acura NSX oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.

Do I need to replace my NSX’s oil filter when changing my oil?

You should replace your Acura NSX during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.

Acura recommends having your 1991 Acura NSX’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your NSX 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 notice excess vehicle exhaust.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Acura NSX. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
