Your 2006 RSX’s oil should be changed according to Acura’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your RSX in the above table. No matter the mileage, your RSX may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, 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, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds.

2006 Acura RSX Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Acura RSX motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Acura RSX 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 RSX oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Acura exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
