Another awesome vid!
Thank you Jasserv! I appreciate it. I hope you are having a great day. 🙂
Driver's Therapy Thank you man. A day with NSX content is always a great day
Thank you! I've already bought the oil and I'm going to attempt this on my NSX upon my return from road trip this weekend. It looks so easy.
Awesome! Honda engineers really made it easy for oil changes on the NSX for sure. I love it!!!
I remember looking into videos on how to change oil for a few cars, namely the NSX. I always count myself lucky that I don't have to remove the entire wheel for mine. And unlike the 2017 NSX, I suppose you are glad that this NSX doesn't require dismantling the undercarriage and having to remove 7 drain plugs! XD
7 drain plugs!?!? :0 what car do you have to do that to? Sounds crazy.
@@DriversTherapy New NSX xD: th-cam.com/video/d6G51MePbpo/w-d-xo.html
@@DriversTherapy I think he is High
Thanks for making such a detailed, to-the-point video. This is very helpful for actually working through the process!
Glad it was helpful!
Super cool. Just finished changing the oil in my '94 . Just a recommendation - my MR2 would always leak oil on the exhaust manifold when removing the filter - I used aluminum foil to cover it before starting. I do this on the NSX control arm, as well. Simply remove at the end of the job, no extra steps needed! Cheers!
Awesome! Thank you for the tip! I really appreciate it. 🙂🤘🏽
Very informative - will be needing this one in the future ;)
Thank you, K! I hope all is well :D
thanks for the video! I'm doing an oil change in the next few days very informative.
Awesome! Have you seen our record oil change time video?
You should lower the car ONTO the jack stand. Never use a hydraulic jack to hold up a car after it has been raised. Also, you will be able to pour the oil out of the container easier if you turn the bottle 180 degrees from where you have it in the video. Having the opening "up" in relation to engine will be much easier. Good video!
Thank you Da Buzz. You are 100% correct on the jack stands. The ones I have are V shape and they would dig into the car. I need to get some new ones but someone just told me about rubber adapters that solve my issue. Thank you for the advice on turning the bottle and for watching the video.
Nice walk-through and laudable use of the torque wrench. Drain plug is steel on steel at least, but I suspect many folks take the 'guten toight' approach that can end up causing issues in the long term. One observation, I'll have to look again, but I don't think my crank pulley looks like an old phone dial. Is that an aftermarket piece?
Thanks, Richard! Oh, snap, I have no idea. Can you check again? That is crazy, it would be cool if a previous owner replaced it thus saving me from having to do it or be a risk for a future problem. As far as the video, I am worried how much the NSX guys are going to judge me. I appreciate you watching the video and your comment man.
@@DriversTherapy Oh, it's just by chance I'm here before all of the "tall filter", "amsoil", and jacking point comments 😜. I did find some pictures though and yeah, mine has a solid outer face. For a moment I thought someone was confused and put one of the balancer shields on the outside, but I'm not sure how that would be possible.
Straight forward vid. Great job!
Thank you!!!
Thanks for the detailed guide! Can you also do one with the transmission fluid change as well? Really appreciate these DIY maintenance guides for the NSX!
Thanks! Next time I do a transmission fluid change, I will see about making a video. 😀 I welcome you to subscribe to stayed tuned for some cool NSX content. Have a great day!
Thank you for the video, did you ever made a video for transmission oil change yet?
Thank you for watching. I have not done one yet but I will do it when I am up for that service. In the meantime, some advice, make sure to buy the OEM transmission fluid. Make sure you lift the car safely and have room to go under and be able to hold a bottle of fluid and pump. You have to have room to pump the fluid. Have shop towels and something to catch the fluid. It can fling everywhere so be careful and wear eye protection. I let things drain for a while so let the fluid drain. Make sure to get a new washer for your drain and fill bolts. Pretty easy overall, the biggest issue is getting dirty because pumping the fluid can get messy when you remove the pump to one bottle to the next. Let me know if have anymore questions.
Great video. Nice and easy to follow.
Thank you so much! We have a lot more DIY videos for the NSX. Let me know if you have a question with any of them.
really great walkthrough.
Benny Chan thank you! We really appreciate it man.
Question: The first time I went to change my oil, I noticed that when I jacked it up on the right, the engine was tilted, and not with the drain hole at the bottom. After it drained, I lowered the jack back down to level the engine (without reinstalling the wheel) and more oil came out, so I always drain it level now. Also, be sure to warm up the engine before draining to get more old oil out (SM ch. 8)
Good job adding the text about running the engine a bit (to fill up the new, empty oil filter) before checking and topping off the oil. (I fill my oil filter with fresh oil before putting it on - the oil pressure seemed to come back up quicker on restart when I did that) I wonder if a note about checking the oil with the car back on the ground (and LEVEL) would also be helpful.
Thank you, you bring to attention some great advice and recommendations. I appreciate it and I will implement your input in my next oil changes. Have a great day!
Nicely done! Thank you!
Thanks! Appreciate you watching. 🤘🏽
I live in NW Ohio. 5W-30 in the winter. 15W-40 in the summer.
Interesting. I assume it gets cold in Ohio. I use 10W30 across the board but we do not see freezing temps where I live often.
@@DriversTherapy : Below freezing most all of Dec, Jan and Feb. I use Mobil 0W-20 in my '18 ES350 from Oct. to April. Then switch to 5W-30 during the Spring and Summer.
You drive your Aluminum NSX in Ohio winters? Impressive. They don't use road salt there?
@@timturkstra500: I only have the NSX out on clear winter days. NW Ohio winters are getting milder every year. I have the RDX for blizzard days. No bodywork issues to date.
What torque wrenches do you use?
I bought it on Amazon. Here is the link: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FMPKAD0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Driver's Therapy do you use this one for drain bolt and wheels? And you should make amazon affiliate links!
@@dreamjdm6522 The link is for the drain bolt. The torque wrench I use for wheels is one I picked up from a racer who was retiring. You are right about getting some affiliate links. I will look into it. Thank you for watching the video.
never rip open the plastic from the bottom, always from the top!!!
Oh? Is there a reason why?
@@DriversTherapy He is High too!
Just back over normal car ramps, no need to take off the rear tire. I've never switched out drain plug washers. Never torqued the drain plug, either. Just a waste of time. It's a Honda motor. It will last forever then turn to stone.
Thank you for that suggestion. I like to be on the safe side of things so I torque things down. Being a Master Technician has shown me over the years that following suggested torque specs is a good practice across the board.
@@DriversTherapy : I am far from being any level of tech, so I tend to take shortcuts. I've never owned a torque wrench.
@@Alexi7666 I think in the small stuff one can get away with some hand tightening. The manual states to torque the oil filter and I don't. I just get a peace of mind from doing the bolts I can get to and its take an extra minute to do it right. They sell good calibrated torque wrenches on Amazon for about 40-50 bucks.
@@DriversTherapy : I'm only comfortable with doing the small stuff. Brakes are as complicated as I get. I've run across oil filters on friend's cars that have been torqued down. What a pain. Hand tighten only. My cars are all "keepers", '99 TL-S with 291,000 miles, '97 LS400 with 183,000 miles, and the NSX has 162,000 miles.
@@Alexi7666 Those are some nice cars you have and I love that you drive them.
