Appreciate this video! Just saved me so much money. I’m a girl and I want to start changing my own oil! They always try to finesse me at the shop.. next thing im gonna learn to fix is this torque shudder!
Little tip for navigating the vehicle setting for maintenance reset, you can use the menu wheel on your steering wheel and reset it on your gauge clusters menu, instead of using the entertainment system. Does the same thing but less things to navigate through and is a little quicker!
Question…do you need to buy a new oil filter every time you need a oil change or can you just re use the oil filter that’s already there when draining it? (New to car maintenance)
Do you know if you need to replace the oil plug on the 4 cylinder TLX? I have a buddy that has a 2015 TLX and he says Valvoline charges him $100 each time for an oil change. They charge him for a new oil plug each time as well, which sounds a little off. I’m thinking you just need to replace the oil drain plug gasket at least. What is your opinion on this?
The oil plug is the bolt for your drain pan and you sure as shit don't need to replace it unless it's leaking. 100$ oil charge is about right for this car since it uses full synth and most quick oil change places will charge alot more than a local mechanic since you have to wait. Best bet bring it to the dealer, they have the cheapest prices in full synth oil. Hope you love your tlx my Asian brother
The synthetic oil costs about 37 to 40 bucks. The filter is 8 to 12 bucks. Tell him to learn how to do his own oil. It's so easy. The only time the drain plug bolt is needed to be replaced is if it's stripped or its leaking. Other than that hell no.
You can wrap a plastic grocery bag around the filter to help contain the dripping when you remove it.

Nice job Avron.. Like the GTR !
Great video everything explained very clear and straight forward!
Change my oil this morning, thank you for this!
Your welcome!
When should you change the transmission oil?
Question…do you need to buy a new oil filter every time you need a oil change or can you just re use the oil filter that’s already there when draining it?
(New to car maintenance)
New filter
Always new filter!
So does changing the filter with a new one without filling it bad? I never prefill the new one.
Yes that’s bad
Gotta lubricate the filter
Does this model vehicle not use a crush washer?
Just wondering b/c I always thought those were standard across most Hondas and Acuras.
To what I remember this bolt had like an integrated silicone gasket under the head of the bolt to seal
Piece of cake. Thank you for sharing. No crush washer on the drain plug?
Will this stop the “Due for maintenance” message from popping up?
No you need to re set
Good video good and clear advice thx

Why not just the the tire off and put the filter back on.
