Keep Your Acura Running Strong with These Must-Replace Components

Once your Acura crosses the 50,000-mile threshold, it's time to give it the preventative care it deserves. While Acura vehicles are known for their long-lasting quality and engineering excellence, regular maintenance is essential to preserve performance, efficiency, and safety over the long haul.

In this guide, we’ll break down the most important Acura maintenance parts to check, inspect, or replace after 50,000 miles—and provide direct links to recommended OEM components from Bernardi Parts, your trusted source for genuine Acura parts and accessories.

engine oil filter

Engine Oil and Oil Filter

At 50,000 miles, your Acura's engine oil and oil filter have likely been replaced multiple times—but staying on schedule is crucial. Fresh oil keeps your engine lubricated, while a clean filter ensures contaminants are removed.

Change your oil every 5,000–7,500 miles depending on your driving conditions, but don’t skip this interval. Clean oil improves performance, fuel efficiency, and engine longevity.

Engine Air Filter

The air filter protects your engine by trapping dust and debris before they can enter the combustion chamber. After 50,000 miles, your air filter may be clogged and should be inspected and replaced. A clean filter helps your engine breathe easier, improving fuel economy and throttle response.

dirty and clean cabin air filters

Cabin Air Filter

Your cabin air filter plays an equally important role—for you and your passengers. It filters the air that flows through your HVAC system, keeping pollen, dust, and pollutants out of your interior. If you’ve noticed a musty smell or reduced airflow, it’s probably time to swap in a fresh one.

Transmission Fluid

Your transmission depends on fluid to operate smoothly and stay cool. At 50,000 miles, most Acura models benefit from a transmission fluid flush or change—especially if you experience hesitation between gear shifts or plan to keep the vehicle long-term. Always choose Acura-approved automatic transmission fluid (ATF) for proper lubrication and performance.

Brake Fluid and Brake Components

Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which can lead to a spongy pedal and reduced stopping power. Most manufacturers recommend replacing it around 50,000 miles, especially in areas with high humidity. While you're at it, inspect your brake pads and rotors. If they're worn, it’s best to use OEM replacements to maintain proper braking performance.

spark plugs

Spark Plugs

Many Acura engines require spark plug replacement between 50,000 and 100,000 miles, depending on the engine type and plug material. Worn spark plugs can cause misfires, poor fuel economy, and rough idling. Using genuine plugs ensures proper fitment, ignition timing, and performance.

Serpentine Belt (Drive Belt)

The serpentine belt powers your alternator, air conditioning compressor, and other key accessories. A worn or cracked belt can break unexpectedly, leaving you stranded. If the belt shows signs of wear (cracks, fraying, glazing), don’t wait—replace it with a genuine part.

Battery

Car batteries usually last 3–5 years. If your Acura still has the original battery at 50,000 miles, have it tested. Dimming headlights, slow cranking, or electrical issues are all signs of a weak battery. OEM batteries are built to match your vehicle’s power requirements and fitment.

shelf of tires

Tires and Tire Rotation

Tire maintenance is essential for safety, handling, and efficiency. If your tires have over 50,000 miles, check for signs of uneven wear or low tread. Rotate them regularly and replace them if they’re near or below 4/32" tread depth.

While tires are not sold directly through Bernardi Parts, you can find related hardware for sale. For tire replacement, consult your Acura owner's manual for the correct size and speed rating.

Wiper Blades

After 50,000 miles, chances are your wiper blades are due for replacement. New blades ensure clear visibility in rain, snow, or sleet. Don’t overlook this inexpensive yet essential safety item.

Keep Your Acura in Top Shape

Reaching 50,000 miles is an exciting milestone, but it’s also a critical point for vehicle maintenance. Performing these inspections and replacing worn components now can prevent more costly repairs down the road and keep your Acura performing like new.

Always consult your vehicle’s maintenance schedule or your Acura technician for specific intervals, and when in doubt, trust OEM parts from Bernardi Parts to get the job done right.
