The 2014 Acura MDX takes a synthetic 0W-20 motor oil and holds 5.7 quarts. When replacing the oil yourself, make sure to tighten the drain plug to 30 pound-feet and add a washer. You can opt for any canister style filter, such as the Wix 57356, which is a popular choice and costs around $10 at auto parts stores. Using conventional oil will require an oil change every 3,000 miles, but with synthetic oil, you benefit from additives that maintain engine seals and can go double the distance before needing another change.
The top viscosity grade recommended by Acura for the 2014 MDX is SAE 5W-20. Acura suggests using engine oils that meet the SAE classifications for viscosity and have the API Certification Seal. The engine oil capacity for the 2014 MDX is 4.5 US quarts (4.3 liters).
Mara's information about the oil capacity of the 2014 Acura MDX is wrong. According to the official Owner's Manual, the engine oil change capacity, including the filter, is 5.7 US quarts (5.4 liters). Editors, please make a note of this incorrect information to avoid confusion for inexperienced individuals seeking advice on this forum.
Mara, the manual and the oil fill cap suggest using 0W-20 oil. It's important for everyone to refer to the manual or the cap to know the recommended oil type.
