When to Change 2013 Acura ZDX Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2013 Acura ZDX? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Acura recommends changing your 2013 ZDX’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your ZDX may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Acura if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Acura ZDX. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
