In this article, we’ll explain the official figure, why it’s defined the way it is, and what that means for owners planning maintenance on the 2017 NSX, including practical steps to ensure a proper fill and level check.


Official capacity and what it includes


Acura’s published data for the 2017 NSX lists the engine oil capacity as approximately seven quarts (6.6 liters) with the oil filter installed.

Notes for accuracy


Because production variations, regional service specifications, or different oil-filter part numbers can introduce small changes, owners should verify the exact capacity against the official manual for their specific vehicle and VIN. When in doubt, confirm with an Acura dealer or a qualified technician.


Practical tips for performing an oil service


Use the capacity figure as a guideline for buying oil and planning a drain-and-fill procedure. Start by warming the engine, drain the old oil completely, replace the oil filter, and then refill with the correct amount of oil. After adding oil, run the engine, shut it off, and recheck the level on the dipstick to ensure it sits within the recommended range.
