- 91 Octane Premium unleaded gasoline
Acura recommends using 91 octane premium unleaded gasoline for the 2024 RDX. While the engine can run on regular 87 octane fuel, using premium fuel is said to maximize engine performance and efficiency.
Using a lower octane fuel than recommended can cause knocking or pinging noises, reduced engine performance, and increased fuel consumption. However, it is generally safe to use regular unleaded gasoline in the RDX if premium is not available. Just be aware that you may experience reduced performance and efficiency.
