The 2000 Acura TL was equipped with a 3.2L V6 engine as standard across all trim levels, without the option to upgrade to a different engine type. This engine requires synthetic 5W-30 motor oil, but in cold climates, it is recommended to use 10W-30 oil to prevent engine lock-up. The oil capacity is 4.2 US quarts with the filter and 4.6 US quarts without. The oil drain plug has a 16mm head size and should be removed with 32 ft-lbs of torque.
The recommended oil for a 2000 Acura TL is Castrol GTX High Mileage Synthetic Blend motor oil in 5W-30, in a 5-quart container.
