The manufacturer of the 2002 Acura RL recommends using SAE 5w-30 oil, but you can also opt for SAE 0w-30. It is important to note that you should not mix these oils, and the engine should be drained before switching to a new type of oil. The 5w-30 oil is designed to provide year-round protection and improve starting and fuel efficiency in cold weather. Follow the factory specifications for the recommended amount of oil and oil filter changes at each service interval. When selecting oil, ensure it is the correct type and check for the API certification seal to ensure it is suitable for use in all Honda vehicles. Traditional oil should be changed every 3500 miles, while full synthetic oil and filter changes are recommended every 5500 to 7000 miles.
