The 2006 Acura MDX comes with a 3.5-liter V6 engine that requires 4.2 liters (4.5 quarts) of either 5W-20 or 0W-20 synthetic engine oil for longer-lasting performance. While Mazda recommends changing the oil every 5,000 miles, driving in heavy traffic or dusty areas may require more frequent changes. The MDX is equipped with an oil life indicator, but it's wise to check the oil regularly. Proper maintenance of the oil is crucial for the engine's health. Oil changes for the 2006 MDX typically cost between $120 and $140, including labor.
In 2006, Acura made a change to the approved oil types for the MDX. You can now use either 5W20 or 0W20 synthetic oil for the 3.5L V6 engine found in the 2005 MDX. The engine requires 4.5 quarts of oil.
