A few notes:
-You really should not jack up the car from the point used in the video. There’s actually a dedicated floor jack lifting point on the middle of the front sub-frame near the lower edge of the bumper (see official service manual). Not only is this safer, but it also lifts both front wheels simultaneously, saving time.
-The drain bolt is 17mm, not 11/16″. While these are almost the same size, 11/16″ is slightly too large and could cause damage to the drain bolt.
Actually I just wait till it goes to 0, then I make a note to change it within the next week. There is actually a lot of debate over “when/what” percentage… but waiting until 0, has worked fine for me.. motor still runs like a champ.
you have any problems with leakage after replacing the drain plug? I didn’t replace the sealing washer with a new one like the manual says , and just reused the same one, and i have a few drips everytime i’m parked for a few hours in the same spot….

HEy man thanks for the video. But do me a fav the car is from japan meaning they use the metric wrenches not standard. Although it is working for you now , if you keep doing it you will damage the drain plug. Just a hint for you . THanks again.

Add oil to the filter before installing.
How many miles do you get out of the oil life montior for every oil change.

what % do you change oil
I do as a general guideline.
Do you follow that oil life montior in car for oil changes
I try to do it in accordance with manufacturer specs but some of the higher end oils can definitely go a little longer than those specs.
How often do you change your oil on your 2006 Acura TL.
Great video. Thanks for sharing it. Very helpful. But your website seems to come up blank for me.
Man, your engine looks pretty dirty inside.

Great job!!! Yes I was waiting
For that rest button!!!
It only changes the Oil Maintenance %.
Can you reset the oil life without resetting the trip kms?
It’s Positive Crankcase Ventilation.. not negative, it blows out – not in. Anyhow, it’s just standard protocol.
Thanks for the tip… I’ve been using a standard for a while and no damage. Maybe I’m just lucky.
Thanks! This helped me find the drain plug in the dark.. I’m going to install a Fumoto quick drain bolt.
