What kind of oil does an Acura Rl 2006 take?

The 2006 Acura RL takes 5W-20 synthetic motor oil. This lightweight, low-viscosity oil helps improve fuel efficiency and provides optimal lubrication for the engine in this luxury sedan.


Detailed Information on the Acura RL 2006 Oil Recommendation


The 2006 Acura RL is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine. Acura recommends using 5W-20 synthetic motor oil in this vehicle. This oil grade is designed to flow easily at low temperatures during cold starts, while also maintaining sufficient viscosity to protect engine components at normal operating temperatures.


The 5W-20 oil specification provides several benefits for the Acura RL 2006:



  • Improved Fuel Efficiency: The lower viscosity 5W-20 oil reduces engine drag, allowing the engine to operate more efficiently and improving overall fuel economy.

  • Enhanced Engine Protection: The synthetic formulation provides superior lubrication and wear protection for the engine's moving parts, helping to extend the engine's lifespan.

  • Easier Cold Weather Starting: The 5W rating allows the oil to flow more readily in cold temperatures, reducing strain on the starter and battery during cold starts.


It's important to follow Acura's recommended oil change intervals and to use a high-quality 5W-20 synthetic motor oil to maintain the 2006 RL's engine performance and longevity.

What kind of oil should I put in my Acura?


Acura recommends 5W20 viscosity. If you use a viscosity other than what's recommended in the owner's and service manuals, and you have a problem with your engine, they could blame it on the oil viscosity and refuse to honor the warranty for the repair.
