2018 Acura NSX Owners Manual - Engine Oil

From inside the vehicle:

1. Display the Oil Level Check Assist in the driver information interface (see "Driver Information Interface") .
2. Run the engine until the Warm Up gauge is full.
    
3. Park on level ground and shift to (P). Idle the engine until the Idle Time gauge is full and the Ready to Check Oil Level message appears. Do not press the accelerator during this time.
    
4. Set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF (LOCK). Start a two-minute timer.

From outside the vehicle:

2. When the two-minute timer completes, remove the dipstick (orange loop), wipe it clean, and reinsert it (flat side of loop toward oil fill cap)
3. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. It should be between the upper and lower marks. Add oil if needed.

When finished, select a different display in the driver information interface.

Use full synthetic, 0W-40 motor oil such as Ultimate Full Synthetic Motor Oil, Type 3, 0W-40, available at your authorized Acura NSX dealer.

Use only oil that displays an API Certification Seal on the container. This seal indicates the oil is energy conserving and that it meets the American Petroleum Institute's latest requirements.

Unscrew and remove the engine oil fill cap.

Add oil slowly.

Reinstall the engine oil fill cap and tighten it securely.

Recheck the engine oil level (see "Engine Oil").

If you change or replace the vehicle's engine oil yourself, you must reset the engine oil life. Use the right selector wheel on the steering wheel to make selections in the driver information interface.

1. Set the power mode to ON. Roll the wheel until the oil life displays in the driver information interface.
2. Press the wheel for at least 10 seconds, until you enter reset mode.
3. Select All Items Due, then press the wheel. The maintenance items disappear and the engine oil life display returns to 100%.
