Acura recommends changing your 2005 RL’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your RL in the above table. Your RL may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Acura recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Acura RL. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2005 Acura RL motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Acura has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 2005 RL.
