Driving
Turbo Engine Vehicle
Handling Precautions
The turbocharger is a high-precision device designed to obtain greater horsepower
by delivering a large volume of compressed air into the engine using a turbine driven
by the engine’s exhaust gas pressure.
• When the engine is cold just afte r starting, avoid hard or sudden
acceleration.
• Always replace the engine oil and engine oil filter according to the
Maintenance Minder
TM.
The turbine rotates at very high speeds over 100,000 rpm and its temperature
reaches over 1,292°F (700°C). It is lubricated and cooled by engine oil.
If you fail to replace the engine oil and filt er at the scheduled distance or interval,
deteriorated engine oil may cause failure su ch as sticking and abnormal noise of the
turbine bearing.
1 Turbo Engine Vehicle
The scheduled maintenance intervals for replacing
the engine oil and filt er is indicated on the
Maintenance Minder
TM. Follow the information of
when to replace them.
2 Maintenance Minder
TM P. 377
2 Recommended Engine Oil P. 388
The temperature gauge needle is at the mark
when you restart the engi ne after driving under high
load conditions such as at high speed or in hilly
terrain. This is normal. The gauge needle goes down
after you idle or drive the vehicle for about one
minute.

●Inspect direct injection + port injection fuel system*2: If you drive in dusty conditions, replace the air cleaner element every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
*3: If you drive primarily in urban areas that have high concentrations of soot in the air from industry and
from diesel-powered vehicles, replace the dust and pollen filters every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or
every year.
*4: Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds results in higher transmission temperature. This requires transmission fluid and clutch fluid changes more frequently than recommended by the
Maintenance Minder. If you regularly drive your vehicle under this condition, have the transmission
fluid and clutch fluid changed every 20,000 miles (32,000 km).
*5: Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds results in higher level of mechanical (Shear) stress to fluid. This requires Twin Motor Unit fluid changes more frequently than recommended by the
Maintenance Minder. If you regularly drive your vehicle under these conditions, have the Twin Motor
Unit fluid changed at 7,500 miles (12,000 km), then every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).

Maintenance
Changing the Engine Oil and Oil Filter
You must change the engine oil and oil fi lter regularly in order to maintain the
engine’s lubrication. The engine may be damaged if they are not changed regularly.
Specialized equipment and procedures are required to change the engine oil and oil
filter. Have an authorized Ac ura NSX dealer replace them.
Do not attempt to change the engi ne oil and oil filter yourself.

Maintenance
Storage
Vehicle Storage
If you need to park your vehicle for an extended period (more than one month),
there are several things you should do to prepare it for storage. This helps reduce
possible deterioration of vehicle components and overall condition, which allows
you to get the vehicle back on the road with minimal delay. These are:
• If possible, store your NSX in a garage or enclosed area.
• Fill the fuel tank completely.
• Change the engine oil and filter.
• Wash and dry the exterior completely.
• Clean the interior. Make sure the carpeti ng, floor mats, etc., are completely dry.
• Put the transmission in
(P.
Release the parking brake.
• Leave one window open slightly (if th e vehicle is being stored indoors).
• To maintain the low-voltage 12-volt battery, connect it to an accessory battery
charger. For more information on how to maintain your 12-volt battery, consult
an authorized Acura NSX dealer.
2 Checking the 12-Volt Battery P. 415
•If the vehicle is to be stored for a longer period of time, it should be supported on
jack stands to raise the tires off th e ground to prevent tire flat spotting.
2Handling of the Jack P. 442
•Support the front wiper blade arms with a folded towel or rag so they do not
touch the windshield.
• Cover the vehicle with a “breathable” co ver, one made from a porous material
such as cotton. Nonporous materials (suc h as plastic sheeting) may trap moisture,
which can damage the paint.
• If possible, remove the vehicle from th e garage or enclosed area, remove
covering, and periodically run the engi ne until it reaches full operating
temperature (the cooling fa n cycles on and off twice).
Preferably, do this once a month.
