Turbo Engine Vehicle - Acura MDX 2024 Owner's Manual

Turbo Engine Vehicle

Handling Precautions
The turbocharger is a high-precision device to obtain greater horsepower by
delivering a large volume of compressed air into the engine using a turbine driven by
the engine's exhaust gas pressure.
• When the engine is cold just after starting, avoid hard or sudden acceleration.
• Always replace the engine oil and engine oil filter according to the Maintenance
Minder TM .
• The turbine rotates at very high speeds over 100,000 rpm and its temperature
reaches over 1,292°F (700°C). It is lubricated and cooled by engine oil. If you fail
to replace the engine oil and filter at the scheduled distance or interval,
deteriorated engine oil may cause failure such as sticking and abnormal noise of
the turbine bearing.

The temperature gauge pointer is at the upper level
when you restart the engine after driving under high
load conditions such as at high speed or in hilly
terrain. This is normal. The gauge goes down after
you idle or drive the vehicle for about one minute.
