Additional Notes

  • The front differential capacity across all configurations of the Acura NSX NC1 is 2.42 liters, a figure that applies uniformly to both the standard NSX and the NSX Type-S, across both the USA and Canadian markets for all listed model years.
  • Under severe use conditions, the Canadian-market NSX (2016-2022) carries a front differential fluid change interval of 24,000 km, while the USA-market equivalent specifies 15,000 miles for the same severe-use classification.
  • A shortened first-change interval is specified under severe use conditions for the Canadian-market NSX (2016-2022), set at 12,000 km, which is half the standard severe-use interval of 24,000 km applied to subsequent changes.
  • The USA-market NSX (2016-2022) similarly carries a first-change-only severe interval of 7,500 miles, again representing half the recurring severe-use interval of 15,000 miles.
  • The NSX Type-S in the Canadian market (2021-2022) shares the same severe-use front differential change intervals as the standard NSX CAN variant, with 12,000 km for the first change and 24,000 km for subsequent severe-use intervals.
  • The USA-market NSX Type-S (2021-2022) likewise mirrors the standard USA NSX severe-use intervals, specifying 7,500 miles for the first change and 15,000 miles for ongoing severe-use service.
  • All configurations across both markets and both trims also list a flexible interval tied to the on-board maintenance system, under which no fixed change distance is specified in the data, with the 2.42-liter capacity remaining constant regardless of which interval method is followed.
