Need more info about 2024 Acura RDX oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2024 RDX’s oil should be changed according to Acura’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Acura RDX. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
