2001 Acura Integra

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2001 Integra.

Transmission Automatic 4-spd

The 2001 Acura Integra is the 2001 model-year entry in the Integra line, equipped with a four-speed automatic transmission and EPA fuel-economy ratings of 21/28/23 mpg. Routine oil service calls for 4 quarts of 5W-30 API oil. Across the model's recorded complaint history from 1990 through 2026, the 2001 Integra sits near the lower end of the range with only six owner complaints, five recalls, and tires reported as the top complaint area. That places it among the quieter years for the nameplate, well below the 206 complaints logged for 2023 and above the single complaint recorded for 2026.

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 at 105,000 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 federal record shows a general decline in both complaints and recalls from the early 1990s through 2001, with complaints falling from a high of 82 in 1994 to just 6 in 2001 and recalls dropping from 12 in 1990 to 5 in 2001. Investigations were zero from 1993 onward, including the 2001 model year, indicating no open safety investigations that year. Compared to the immediate prior years—2000 recorded 17 complaints and 4 recalls, while 1999 had 8 complaints and 4 recalls—the 2001 model exhibits the lowest complaint count and only a modest increase in recalls relative to 2000. The target year’s top complaint areas were tires (2 reports), air bags, power train, and engine/engine cooling (each 1 report), with a single crash complaint and no fire complaints. Taken together, the 2001 Acura Integra benefits from the lowest complaint volume in the generation and relatively low recall activity, suggesting it is a favorable year to consider for a used purchase.
