WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Acura TL, 2010 Acura TL, and 2009 Acura TL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Park the vehicle on level ground, and start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm with no load (in P or N (A/T model) or neutral (M/T model)) until the radiator fan comes on, then turn off the engine, and wait a few minutes.
- Remove the dipstick, and wipe off the dipstick, then reinstall the dipstick.
- Remove the dipstick, and check the engine oil level. It should be between the upper mark (A) and the lower mark (B).
- If the engine oil level is near or below the lower mark, check for oil leakage, and add the engine oil to bring it to the upper mark.
- Refill with the recommended oil (see LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS )
