Acura questions we answer every week

Straight answers from our techs

Why does my Acura V6 misfire and use oil?

Acura V6s with VCM (cylinder shutoff) can foul spark plugs and use oil on the cylinders that shut off.

Warning signs

Misfire  Â·  Oil consumption  Â·  Vibration

What we do

We diagnose the misfire and oil use and repair the cause.

When does my Acura V6 need a timing belt?

Acura V6 engines use a timing belt, usually due around every 7 years or 105,000 miles.

Why it matters

Belt age  Â·  Mileage  Â·  Water pump wear

What we do

We replace the belt, water pump and tensioner together.

Why is my Acura TSX burning oil?

Some 2009–2014 TSXs with the 2.4L use oil between changes, often from stuck piston rings.

Warning signs

Low oil between changes  Â·  Oil light

What we do

We run an oil consumption test and recommend the right repair.

Why does my older MDX shift badly?

2001–2006 MDXs are known for automatic transmission failures — slipping and harsh shifts.

Warning signs

Slipping  Â·  Harsh shifts  Â·  Flashing D light

What we do

We scan it, check the fluid, and tell you whether it needs service or repair.

Why does my Acura vibrate at idle?

Worn motor mounts are a common cause of idle vibration on Acura V6s — especially on VCM engines.

Warning signs

Vibration at idle  Â·  Clunk on takeoff

What we do

We inspect and replace the worn mounts.
