Read the owner's manual.....I'm pretty sure there is a recommendation in there. If you do not have an owner's manual, check with your local Acura dealership.
Having said that, I use Castrol GTX 20-W-50. Unless you own a Porsche or Mercedes that comes standard with Mobil 1, Mobil 1 is an absolute waste of money in the NSX. Why? Because the machining tolerances in our Japanese engine are not the same as in the German engines.
Something to think about.....if MB1 is meant for the NSX, don't you think there would be an MB1 sticker in the engine compartment and also emphasized in the owner's manual, as is with the Mercedes and Porsche vehicles?
Well, you must deserve to be flamed, because that's my list too, and I get flamed all the time!White94 said:My list is:
M1 - 10w-30
Honda NSX filter
New crush washer.
And, go ahead and flame me for it but I change it every 3000 miles, if not sooner.

Now that IS a waste of money. Mercedes come from the factory with MB1. Oil changes are every 10k miles, as indicated by a sensor in the oil pan that detects oil degradation.
I have yet to reach 3000 miles of driving in a 3 month period, but I change my oil roughly every 3 months. So I guess I am nuts too. I don't track my car, so I use regular Castrol 10W-30 motor oil.dlynes said:how many miles do you generally run your car til u change the oil?
AndyVecsey said:Mark - I'm going to "pick on you" not to be mean, but to politely counter your position. You said.....
Not that this is great defense, but my BMW recommends changing the oil every 15k. I change it every 5k. I see it as cheap insurance.
If the dentist says to have your teeth cleaned every six months, do you do it instead every two months? From an engineer's perspective, maintenance intervals are arrived at based on facts, not folly. Unless you have a compulsive-obsessive disorder, there is generally no need to take a shower six times per day. You get my meaning.
