What kind of engine oil and oil filter is best for a 2005 Acura TSX?

Going to change the engine oil on my '05 TSX. If there is anyone out there that has a TSX, what type of oil and filter so you use?What kind of engine oil and oil filter is best for a 2005 Acura TSX?
we go to the dealer...the TSX has a funny oil pan screw that if you don't have a NEW ONE or don't know what you're doing, will fall out and you will lose all the oil in your car...



ask me how I know this ??? my husband has a 2004 TSX..he took the car to a 'jiffy' oil place, I discovered his oil leanking and made him take it to the dealer...he almost lost the engine...( luckily I was brought up to work on cars, I know an oil leak when I see one , especially from the OIL pan...)What kind of engine oil and oil filter is best for a 2005 Acura TSX?

I use a honda oil filter. For the oil, you can use whatever you want. I use Mobil 1 synthetic. Honda used to recommend 5w20, but now they recommend 5w30, which is what I use.



As for the above poster who said that you can lose the oil pan...I've never heard that in the last 2.5 years that I've been frequenting TSX boards (4 of them). I have heard alot of horror stories about Jiffy Lube though. At least they put oil in the husband's car...lol
theres no comparrason to OEM ever on a stock vehicle. ive always used dealer liquids but who really go to the dealer 4 an oil change if u got a shop down the street.lets be ralistic. yes i do recommened an OEm oil filter but u could get a K%26amp;N filter. its aftermarket high performance. (its great 2). and 4 the oil i honestly recommend MOBIL 1 synthetic. look into it. i found out that every other oil has been broken downand isnt the sam quality work since the whole petrolieum thing.mobil 1 is the only oil still at full potential
