The manufacturer recommends using 5w-20 engine oil for all 2002 Acura RSX vehicles, but you can also opt for 0w-20. The oil capacity for proper oil level is 5 quarts with filter. It's important to change the engine oil and filter every 3000 - 5000 miles to keep your engine running smoothly; with conventional oil, you should stick to this interval, but synthetic oil allows for longer service periods. Failure to change the oil can lead to decreased viscosity, which affects proper lubrication of engine components like pistons and cylinders. The price of oil varies, typically ranging from $5 - $10 per quart depending on whether it's conventional or synthetic, as well as the brand and quality.
