How Often to Change 2008 Acura TSX Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Acura TSX’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. 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.”

Acura recommends changing your 2008 TSX’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your TSX may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Acura TSX. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
