What is the Acura RSX’s oil type?

My Acura RSX burns oil like nobody’s business. I don’t have the money to repair it quite yet, so I’m going to top off the oil as necessary in the meantime. What type of oil do I need for an Acura RSX?

Think of your
Acura RSX
as the little engine that could—lightweight and lightning-quick despite a small engine. If you want to change the oil, the Acura RSX’s oil type is SAE 5W-20.
To complete an oil change on the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, you’re going to need at least five quarts of 5W-20, preferably of the synthetic variety. While you could use conventional motor oil, synthetic oil has uniform molecules that can help your RSX last longer before the next oil change.
If you want to save some cash to repair the underlying causes of your RSX’s oil burn, start by shopping around for cheap auto insurance. The
