When you get an Acura MDX oil change at Mike Hale Acura, you can rest assured that we only use the manufacturer-recommended oil formulations and genuine OEM parts. This gives drivers better performance mile after mile in Salt Lake City. So, what is the proper Acura MDX oil type? Most experts recommend 0W-20 for models after 2011 or 5W-20 type motor oil for models before 2011. Let’s take a closer look at what is involved in your Acura MDX oil change, and get more service tips from our experts in Murray!

 

 

What’s the Difference between Synthetic vs. Conventional Oil?

You may have heard of synthetic and conventional oil, but what’s the difference? Why is synthetic the Acura MDX oil type of choice?

  • Starting with the similarities, synthetic and conventional oil are both designed to lubricate the moving parts of the engine. This prevents wear and tear while drawing heat away in the process.
  • Between the two, conventional oil is less refined. This means the price is lower, but it doesn’t last as long between oil changes.
  • Synthetic oil is more refined, which means better durability. Synthetic oil doesn’t oxidize or acidify as quickly as conventional oil, so you can schedule your Acura MDX oil changes further apart.
  • If you have a turbocharged engine, the differences are even more significant. Turbocharged engines run hotter, so they need faster-flowing oil to work at their peak.

When Should I Schedule My Acura MDX Oil Change?

Whether you schedule your oil change at Mike Hale Acura or take care of the job on your own in South Jordan, regular oil changes are key to keeping your Acura in great condition. How often should you change your oil? That depends on your oil type. If you choose the recommended synthetic, you can usually go around 7,500 miles between visits. If you choose conventional instead, you’ll need to bump your appointment up to every 5,000 miles instead.
