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; spark plugs every 30,000 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 2000 Acura Integra appears in the federal record with 17 complaints, 4 recalls, and no investigations, a level that sits well below the peak of 82 complaints in 1994 and above the low of 6 complaints in 2001. Compared to 1999, which had 8 complaints and 4 recalls, 2000 shows a modest increase in complaints but the same recall count, indicating a relatively stable issue profile. The trend for this generation shows a gradual decline in complaints from the early 1990s, a spike in 1994, and a steady drop into the early 2000s, with 2000 falling near the bottom of the post‑1994 period. The top complaint areas for 2000 are seat belts (5), tires (3), power train (2), and service brakes (1), and the vehicle recorded 3 crash complaints and no fire complaints. Given the low recall count, no investigations, and the fact that 2000 sits near the bottom of the complaint trend for its generation, it appears to be a reasonably reliable year to consider for purchase.
