The 2008 Acura RL can use either 5W-20 or 0W-20 oil, which are suitable for all temperatures. It is recommended to choose one of these oils. The oil capacity is 4.5 US quarts with a filter and 4.2 US quarts without a filter. Engine oil lubricates and protects the engine parts, ensuring they last long. It also cleans and maintains gaskets to prevent drying or cracking. Regularly changing the oil as recommended will prevent buildup of dirty oil.
Here's a rephrased version for you: "5w 20" can be described as motor oil with a viscosity rating of 5 for cold weather and 20 for normal operating temperatures.
The manufacturer's manual for the Acura RL recommends using 5w-20 synthetic motor oil to keep the engine running smoothly.
