1995 Acura Integra

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1995 Integra.

Body PASSENGER CARTransmission Automatic 4-spd

The 1995 Acura Integra is a passenger‑car platform equipped with a 4‑qt capacity engine that runs on 5W‑30 API oil and is mated to a four‑speed automatic transmission, delivering EPA ratings of 21 mpg city, 29 mpg highway and a combined 24 mpg. While the model’s overall reliability record shows a modest 55 owner complaints and five recalls, the most frequent issue cited is the air‑bag system. Within the broader 1990‑2026 complaint timeline, the 1995 year sits toward the lower end of the spectrum, far from the 2023 peak of 206 complaints and approaching the 2026 low of a single complaint, indicating a relatively stable reliability standing for its era.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; coolant every 30,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 30,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 1995 Acura Integra sits just after a notable complaint spike in 1994 (82 complaints) and before a surge in technical service bulletins in 1996 (45 TSBs), marking it as a transitional year within the generation. Recalls declined steadily from a high of 12 in 1990 to just 5 for 1995, and no federal investigations were opened for this model year, suggesting fewer systemic safety defects compared to earlier years. While TSBs rose to 24—indicating the manufacturer was actively issuing repair guidance—the complaint count of 55 is a clear improvement over 1994 and aligns with the downward trend that continued through the late 1990s. The top complaint area, air bags (16 reports), is notable but the data does not specify root cause; crash-related complaints total 18, with 2 fire incidents. Overall, the 1995 Integra represents a solid choice within the generation, avoiding the peak complaint year and benefiting from a lower recall count, though a pre-purchase inspection of the air bag system is advisable given the complaint frequency.
