The approved oil for the 2005 Acura TL is any brand that carries an API certification mark and has a viscosity grade of 0w-20 SAE. The car's engine oil capacity is 5 quarts (4.7 liters) according to the manufacturer's specifications. The recommended interval for oil replacement is between 3500 and 5000 miles typically, or every 6 months if you're using conventional oil, and between 5500 to 7500 miles for full synthetic. You have the option to use either conventional or synthetic oil in the vehicle, but do not mix them. While conventional oil is more affordable than full synthetic, you will need to service the vehicle more frequently with conventional oil because its viscosity doesn't last as long, resulting in decreased effectiveness in keeping the engine components lubricated.
The suggested oil for a 2005 Acura TL is 0W-20 full synthetic motor oil.
