How many quarts of oil does an Acura TSX take?

- 2004–2014 Acura TSX (2.4 L engine): 4.5 quarts of engine oil with filter replacement.
Note: The capacity refers to the amount needed to fill the crankcase when a new filter is installed. If you are performing an oil-only drain without replacing the filter, the amount to pour may differ slightly; always confirm with the manual.
Choosing the right oil
Most TSX models call for synthetic 5W-30 engine oil in typical climates. In some markets or temperature ranges, Honda/Acura may recommend 0W-20 or 5W-20. Check the owner's manual for the exact viscosity recommended for your vehicle's year and location.
Checking and topping off oil
After adding oil and allowing it to settle, check the dipstick to ensure the level reaches the full mark. If needed, add small amounts until the level is between the min and max marks.
Summary: The Acura TSX generally takes 4.5 quarts of engine oil with a filter; verify with the owner's manual and use the recommended viscosity.
