The 2002 Acura MDX requires 4.7 liters (4.97 quarts) of SAE 5W-30 motor oil, which is a commonly used viscosity that offers protection for various engines in different climates. Acura suggests changing this oil every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. It's important to regularly check the oil level to ensure it doesn't become old or run low before it's time for a replacement. Always wait at least five minutes after turning off the engine before checking or changing the oil to avoid getting hurt. Some popular 5W-30 oil brands for DIY maintenance include Castrol Edge, Royal Purple, Pennzoil Platinum, Mobil 1, and Valvoline MaxLife. If you opt to have the oil changed at a dealership, expect to pay around $120 to $140, which includes labor costs.
