The Acura RDX turbo is known to have issues such as a loose head gasket and oil leaks. It's recommended to change the coolant every 60,000 miles. Your air filter should be replaced every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, while spark plugs typically need changing every 100,000 miles unless they are copper, in which case replacement is required every 30,000 miles. Engine problems may arise, including loose gaskets that need tightening, spark plug issues causing engine malfunctions, and oil leaks that should be promptly addressed. One critical concern is engine overheating, which can result in fires and even vehicle explosions. Keep an eye out for excessive oil consumption, as this may necessitate more frequent oil changes than anticipated.
