2022 Acura NSX

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 NSX.

Transmission Automatic (AM-S9)

The 2022 Acura NSX utilizes a 9-speed automatic transmission (AM-S9) and requires 8.3 quarts of 0W-40 engine oil while carrying EPA fuel economy ratings of 21/22/21 mpg. These specifications define the vehicle’s baseline mechanical and operational parameters. Documented complaints for the model span 1991 through 2021, peaking at six reports in 2017 and bottoming at one in 1994. Consequently, the 2022 model year sits outside this historical dataset, meaning its reliability standing remains unproven against the lineage’s established complaint trajectory.
