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.
