I recognize that engine. It's in my dad's 2003 Acura MDX! That's Honda's J35A5 engine! During the 2000s, GM made a deal with Honda. Honda would give GM the same engine they use in the 2003-2006 Acura MDX, a 3.5L 60-degree V6 making about 270 hp and about 250 lb-feet of torque. It came equipped with VTEC which engaged around 4,500 rpm. I have found the engine to be extremely reliable, as is with Honda's powertrains, and peppy too. The MDX is no slouch when it comes to getting up and going. Truly a great engine. It's so sad to know that it was paired with a sub-par transmission in the MDX. As for the VUE, it's got the heart of a Honda. No wonder these things are still on the road today. Strangely enough, I only see the V6 models these days, never the I4 ones.
My step grandfather owns a 2005 with a 3.5 Liter V6, and it has 260,000+ miles and still going strong.
Mines got abt 130k 😅
I got about 240k
Is it still going?

Odd, if it is a honda engine why does it not get honda coolant? I see the oramge coolant, did GM really recommend Dex-Cool on this?
