2016 Acura RDX, 3 5L V6, 2WD, Oil change.

Acura RDX oil and filter change.

[@alanb.4660]

Just did my car...tip...turn the steering wheel all the way to the right and you'll have plenty room to get to oil filter while in the sitting position on ground. Also, I don't put the car on ramps...can be changed on flat ground and accessing the filter from the turned wheel.

[@anands5661]

"can be changed on flat ground" - that's great! Just to confirm, I assume this means you don't have to raise the car up on jacks either?

[@alanb.4660]

@@anands5661 yes, no jacks no ramps...have done it this way many of times.

[@fastdude2002]

That’s how I do it....

[@Amandaxanime]

No talking. Straight to the point.

[@parksandpizza2366]

Great video. My wife's car so I have to make sure I do it right. Lol Thanks

[@carlomango407]

Very good thank you..please makemore videos..

[@Amandaxanime]

You front tires psi should be 2pts higher than the rear according to the manufacturer recommendation. The car rides a lot smoother at those lvls.

[@thingstoconsider5186]

In the video I hadn't set the tire pressures yet. The right rear tire had a leak. Also, you can always check the sticker on the door jam that shows the recommended tire pressures. All vehicles in the U.S, come with one from the factory.

Uh. My 2014 RDX takes 5.5 quarts with filter per the manual. I wonder why the difference?🤔

[@thingstoconsider5186]

Not sure......I did some checking via factory repair manuals for RDX oil capacity for years 2013 to 2018 with V-6. As far as I know those year RDX"s came with a "3.5 L J35Z2 V6" in the U.S. OEM repair manuals state "At Oil Change including Filter: 4.3 L (4.5 US qt)"

[@thingstoconsider5186]

@@-MrRichBiker1967 I double checked at the last post. What I wrote is what I read. Regardless, I checked the oil level, as I do after any oil change on any vehicle and the oil level was at the full mark with 4.5 quarts.

[@-MrRichBiker1967]

@@thingstoconsider5186 yes, my apology, you are a100% correct. I was just assuming, cuz my chevy impala was 3.5 liter engine, and that took 6 qts,but i know now metric and american standard are diff in these cars, carry on.

[@GangstaChickenMC]

What mm size did you use to open oil pan?

[@thingstoconsider5186]

17 MM to remove the oil drain plug.

[@thingstoconsider5186]

All Acura's (as for as I know) take a 17MM socket for the oil drain plug, unless an aftermarket or oversized drain plug has been installed.
