Engines for every major make

Acura's engine lineup is built entirely on Honda's proven platforms, which means we source from one of the deepest inventory pools in the industry. The J-series 3.5L V6 is the backbone of the Acura lineup — the J35Y4 (290 hp) powers the 2014+ MDX, the J35Y6 (310 hp) drives the TLX SH-AWD, and the J35A9 served the earlier RL and TL. The K-series 2.4L DOHC four-cylinder (K24W/K24Z) served the TSX, ILX (2013–2015), and earlier RDX (2007–2012 turbo K23A1).

Current models use Honda's L15CA 2.0L VTEC Turbo four-cylinder, shared with the Accord and CR-V. This engine powers the 2019+ RDX (272 hp) and 2021+ TLX (272 hp), with the TLX Type S getting the J30A 3.0L twin-turbo V6 (355 hp). We also carry the C30A and C32B V6 for the NSX, and the new twin-turbo NSX Type S powertrain. Every unit ships with verified mileage and our standard warranty.

Common Acura Engine Issues

These are the most frequent reasons Acura owners need a replacement engine.

J35 V6 — VCM (Variable Cylinder Management) Oil Consumption: The J35 V6 with VCM (2008–2017 MDX, 2009–2014 TL, 2015–2020 TLX V6) is Acura's most common replacement engine. The VCM system deactivates cylinders for fuel economy, but the uneven firing pattern causes excessive ring and cylinder wall wear, leading to oil consumption of 1 quart per 1,000 miles or worse. Honda issued a Technical Service Bulletin and extended warranty on some models, but most are now out of coverage. A replacement engine paired with a VCM Muzzler or S-VCM Controller (which disables VCM) is the long-term solution.

K24 2.4L — Excessive Oil Consumption (2nd Gen): The 2009–2014 TSX and 2013–2015 ILX with the K24Z7 can develop piston ring issues causing oil consumption similar to the Honda CR-V of the same era. Consumption of 1 quart per 3,000 miles is the typical threshold that triggers replacement.

K23A1 2.3L Turbo (2007–2012 RDX) — Turbo Failure: The first-generation RDX turbo engine can develop turbocharger wastegate actuator failure and oil starvation to the turbo bearing, especially when oil changes are extended beyond 5,000 miles. A replacement engine with turbo is often more economical than turbo-only replacement due to labor overlap.

Acura Engine — Quick Answers

Are Acura engines the same as Honda?

Yes — Acura engines are Honda platforms with premium calibration. The J35 V6 in the MDX is closely related to the Pilot and Odyssey engine, and the 2.0T in the RDX shares its block with the Accord. This gives us access to the combined Honda/Acura inventory pool — one of the largest in the industry — for faster sourcing and better availability.

What is the Acura VCM oil consumption problem?

Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) deactivates cylinders to save fuel, but the uneven firing pattern causes abnormal ring and cylinder wall wear, leading to excessive oil burning. The 2008-2017 MDX and 2009-2020 TLX V6 are the most affected. Our replacement engines sourced in the 45K-60K mile range still have healthy ring sealing, and we recommend pairing with a VCM disable device to prevent the issue from recurring.

Do you carry the TLX Type S 3.0T engine?

Yes — we stock the J30A 3.0L twin-turbo V6 for the TLX Type S. Due to the relatively new platform and limited donor vehicle availability, these are specialty units and we recommend quoting early to check stock.

Does the Acura engine come with the turbo?

For turbo applications (2.0T RDX/TLX, 2.3T first-gen RDX), our engines ship as complete long-block assemblies including the turbocharger and exhaust manifold. Naturally aspirated J35 V6 engines ship as long blocks with intake and exhaust manifolds.

That engine isn't going to replace itself
