Acura TLX Fuel Information and Refueling
Fuel Information
Use of unleaded gasoline of 91 octane or higher is recommended.
- Acura recommends TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline where available.
- Do NOT use gasoline containing more than 15% ethanol.
- Do NOT use gasoline containing methanol.
- Do NOT use gasoline containing MMT.
NOTICE
We recommend quality gasoline containing detergent additives that help prevent fuel system and engine deposits. In addition, in order to maintain good performance, fuel economy, and emissions control, we strongly recommend the use of gasoline that does NOT contain harmful manganese-based fuel additives such as MMT, if such gasoline is available.
How to Refuel
Your fuel tank is not equipped with a fuel fill cap. You can insert the filler nozzle directly into the filler pipe. The tank seals itself again when you pull out the filler nozzle.
- The fuel fill door is located at the left rear of the vehicle. Park next to the service pump that is most accessible, and turn off the engine.
- Press the fuel fill door release button. The fuel fill door opens.
- Place the end of the filler nozzle on the lower part of the filler opening, then insert it slowly and fully. Make sure that the end of the filler nozzle goes down along with the filler pipe.
- After filling, wait about 5 seconds before removing the filler nozzle. Close the fuel fill door by hand.
