Hello, I'm new to this forum. I previously owed a 2004 Acura TL (dumbed-down) manual trany, ditched it due to the horrid torque steer. I have owned a 2010 Acura TL SH AWD Manual since December 2010. 2 days ago I experience engine cut-out at 5,000 rmp, twice over. Then today, while getting onto the freeway (my very loved TL) experienced a multiple orange warning of "SH AWD, Emission, & low power". Since I live an hour away from the nearest dealer and happened to be 10 minutes from that dealer at the time, I immediately turned around and popped in to see what was happening with my baby. An hour later I was told my love had little oil and multiple codes. The message was conveyed that I'm driving her too hard. Not the case. I do admit I rev up the engine, but shift just after the VTEC kicks in. No red-lining (even though the built-in red line engine cut-out is supposed to prevent engine damage). She has 24,710 miles on her. They filled her up with oil and everything seems fine now, but this car to me is the ultimate sport sedan and should be able to handle anything I throw at her. Any comments, suggestions, or ideas on this? Much appreciated...

Low engine oil can cause engine sensors to go berserk. It may also cause internal moving components to wear out prematurely, especially if the engine is being run at high rpm.

No amount of engine control will prevent the engine from damage if there is insufficient fluid for internal lubrication.

Some forum members have reported that their 3.7L-V6 motors on the 4G SH-AWD TL is burning engine oil. Therefore, always keep a eye on the oil level, not letting it to run low.

Keep the engine oil topped up, and the engine can handle whatever being thrown at it. If the engine is low in oil, it will eventually fail even if nothing is being thrown at it.

Hey guys. I'm new to this site. I also experienced the same thing a few days ago. I am due for an oil change so tomorrow I will be getting that done and hope everything works out. Thanks for this post it is a good help. I hope this is the same situation with my TL

Need to watch the oil level on the 3.7 engine. You'll probably have to add a quart or less between changes (depending on how frequently and how you drive the car), although some report no oil usage at all.

Bottom line - check the stick.

I notice that when I turn HARD in corners (ie turning into my job's parking lot when I'm 5-10 minutes late...which is happening more frequently) I may get a low oil level warning...but when I check the dipstick it seems fine, though at the low end of fine,
