Totally worth paying them to do it. Nice informative video.
Thanks. I totally agree. Someone else may be cheaper, but the risk versus reward is too great to not go with Acura.
@คิดว่าดี ก็ทําไป Thanks for your support!
Get your ass to harbor freight get a jack and Jack stands and your favorite socket wrench, Go to town on all those bolts. No power tools now
Wimp, so easy to do it yourself!

I did one of those oil changes and it took me 25 minutes tops.
This guy sounds like Cleveland from Family Guy 👍
Hey yall
Honda Acura as always , the best engineer do it yourself engines and cars
Great video. I was truly amazed by how much work and time is required to change the oil and filter. At the beginning I estimated that such work would end up costing $480 and it turned out that I was correct. Because of the complex build of this supercar there's a great deal of manual labor required to do the job here. It some ways it reminded me of work on an Air Force fighter jet. But given magnificence of this machine, it's certainly worth the time and energy. It's interesting that that are many Acura dealers that do not sell the NSX because they don't have the facilities and trained mechanics to service the car. The closest Acura dealer to me that sells and services the NSX is around 80 miles away.
I love these Acura NSX & the TL
That's what we don't see often about exotic cars. Thanks for making the video and please show all future work on the car as well.
Thanks! Appreciate your support!
THAT IS CRAZY. 7 OIL DRAIN PLUGS. $500 FOR AN OIL CHANGE. WOW. EXOTIC CARS CAN BE EXPENSIVE TO MAINTAIN
Thank you for your informative video. I can definitely DIY this. I change the fluids on my GTR myself. The NSX is my next dream car.
You're welcome! I think a lift is the most important thing to have when attempting this car.
Hello I’m from Thailand 🇹🇭 👍💪🤘
I love NSX
Greetings! I love jt too! ❤️
Thai people are some of best and most friendly in the world. I will visit again.
Whew that NSX is beautiful!!! 😍😍 thanks for this detail oriented video.
Thanks Leah! And to think I almost started not to film it. But I said let me see if I can work my magic and turn a not so exciting topic into a great video.
Thanks for this video, I will save the mechanical cost for an oil change once I have NSX 😎
how is 7qts of oil $200? dealer markup at its finest. Id be doing that myself, like I do my current NSX.
Nathan Wimsatt - you did this alone without a lift?
Yes. I change the oil on my nsx in my garage. Mine is a 91. But I was asking how is the oil so expensive. BS dealership charge.
Oil, filter, crush washers x 7 I could see that at $200 for dealer prices when using 1qt bottles individually.
Nathan Wimsatt - oh I thought you had this new one. oil change without a lift for it is just crazy town!
Think of it as 7 oil changes
Make me miss the 1st Gen Acura NSX more with its easy oil change from its simple 3.0 L V6
Great video! I now know what expect when I take my 2018 NSX into the Dr. I owned 2 Porsche 911S which were great and I loved each, I went with this NSX as I like the overall design more. It gets a lot more attention.
Thanks! Yes it does get a ton of attention! Were your 911's turbo S or Carrera S?
You’re right start with the oil tank drain. But I keep all 7 out all at the same time to maximize the drain time.
People that spend 150 to 200 thousand plus on a car aren't phased by a 500.00 dollar oil change
lol im phased by a 500 dollar oil change... and a 12k brake and rotor change.. and mines a 2020 nsx. I like to save money
good to know thanks

Hello 👋
Thanks! I learned a lot by watching the process!
man is packed tight in there! although it seems like a simple enough procedure
seems that way. the challenge is having the right tools and a lift is imperative lol.
@@autodreams114 yes it is!
thank you for recording the procedure 👍🏻
I expected it to be more expensive considering it’s a freaking supercar. That’s very reasonable
Yeah not bad to say it's only once per year for me.
Auto Dreams that’s not bad at all. Congrats on the car, it’s a beautiful and underrated piece of engineering.
Thanks!
My next super car - Sold my McLaren MP4-12C - what a mess that car was...$1500-2000 for an oil change!
That's way too much for an oil change unless it's a Bugatti. Great choice in the NSX!
@@autodreams114 Spent over $70,000 fixing that car over 2 years. It was fast when it ran...Great video.
Not much tire thread left...
Nice informative clip !
Thanks !
Thanks! Yeah had to replace them quickly! The rear end was starting to get squirrely! Lol
Thank you for telling me about this video. Love it. Just subbed.
Thanks! I definitely learned some things about my car by watching the process.
Never seen this before. I'd really like to get this car now, although the R8 is still on my list.
Two amazing cars!
I love your channel!! Keep on posting ❤️
Someone needs to make video of change both oils in DTC gearbox. The wet clutch section “room” takes Honda DW-1 ATF. The gear and diff/ring + pinion section (room) take Honda GO (gear oil) type 2. Rear bumper/diffuser needs to be removed to access gearbox drain. I plan on doing mine this fall and make video if no one makes one sooner
1st Gen NSX FTW!
I AM SO GLAD I PURCHASED A NEW CORVETTE GRAND SPORT
The video editing is good. I like it. There are subtitles for encouraging me.👍
Thank you!!!
Great informative video! I was planning to get this 2020 NSX but now after I watched this video. I think my 911 oil change is simpler. Even got to fill the oil reservoir. 7 drain plugs.. hmm. I may consider the 911 turbos instead. How often you have to change oil on NSX? Every 10k miles what are the major service on this NSX? Cheers
Thanks! It's synthetic oil so it's good for about 7500 miles. At least that was the mileage where the car computer system told me to change the oil. I drive about 6000 to 7000 miles a year so that is just one oil change per year. Not bad.
I recently did my 997 and its incredibly easy - don't even have to jack the car up. I love the NSX and want one, but come on, Honda couldn't you have made this a little easier?
I enjoyed the video, Thank you for taking the time to shoot it.
You're welcome. Thanks for the feedback!
Great video. I've done mine twice on my '18 Berlina Black NSX. It does take me about 2 1/2 to 3 hours..... All those fasteners for the undertray....arrrrrgggg. Cheers :)
Wow my hat goes off to you! Do you have a lift?
@@autodreams114 I have a grease pit my father built into the foundation of one of our garages at our vacation home in BC, and I have race ramps at our full time place. It can be done with either. Nope, no lift.
This is very interesting, thank you for sharing!
You're welcome!
Great video. I know you said it took 3 hours, but I’m puzzled why it would take so long. Was the tech literally working on the NSX for 3 hours or was there some other stuff going on? Also $500 is not terrible all things considered, for a job done at the dealer on a high end car.
Now you know what to do unless you really don't have the time which I can appreciate
Oh 7 bolt for drain. I don't know that before .good video sir
Yes seems like a lot but I guess they serve a purpose! Acura designed an amazing car!
Love the NSX videos, can you go more in depth on the maintenance costs, and when other services come up, can you film the costs and so forth? Much appreciated!
Sure will! Thanks for tuning in 👌
Just watched your video. Thinking about picking up a NSX. Right now I rocking a 2018 CTSV Championship Edition. Thinking about getting rid of that for one of these. Thanks for the info
I’m surprised you don’t have to turn any of the hybrid components off
I know right. It's good Acura keeps it s simple as possible.
I would drill holes in the bottom covers to access the drain plugs so I don’t have to remove the covers every time I do an oil or atf change. I did that to some of my past cars.
Not bad at all. I could do it in about 3 hours with jack stands.
Way easier than replacing the intake manifold on a Prelude SH.
And I could do it for around 100.00. 30.00 for the oil filter, 10 for washers. 8 quarts of 0w-40 synthetic.
I never did an intake manifold on a Prelude but it's nearly impossible to change the manifold on my 05 Civic with the D17 engine, the nuts and bolts that hold it to the head are nearly impossible to get to even with the engine out of the car. It's not so bad now that I put a Y8 intake manifold on it though, it's a little bit of a pain to get it in or out because the manifold is so long the back of it is almost against the firewall but at least the nuts and bolts are easily accessible now.
Avery Alexander
Similar problem, the bottom center bolts to the plenum, can’t be accessed from the top, because the manifold itself is on the way. Can’t be accessed from under the car, because the ATTS is in the way. Can’t be accessed from firewall side, because the plenum curves downward almost touching the atts blocking access. So, you have to undo a wiring harness, and move it, and you have enough room for maybe a ratcheting wrench, but then you can’t access the bolt because it’s partially recessed into the plenum itself. You must use a socket, but no room for a ratchet, to turn. You can try a swivel socket but it doesn’t have enough angle, same with swivel extension.
People have just pulled the motor, before to get it. But I think a viable solution might be a 1/4 Tite-reach ratcheting extension, and either accessing from between an intake runner (if it’s skinny enough) or from driver and passenger side. I believe the 3/8 tite reach is too fat.
Very cool video!! I do not own a NSX yet but it is my dream car, hopefully I can be as lucky as you one day!! Stay blessed 🙏🏽🕉
Thank you! What color would you get?
As long as its an Acura NSX! Any color will do!
Great job! Great video!!
Thanks! I love this car, enjoy learning new things about it, and enjoy creating content for others to see!
What are the service intervals? $479 every 3k miles?
Get yourself 2x axle stands and 2x drive on ramps. Get the car up and just chill out one Saturday and do it yourself. 👍👍👍
Beautiful shape these NSX's I love them.
It's about every 6500-7000 miles
c'est ça qui est génial sur les japonnaises, même modernes, elles s'entretiennent de façon normale (seven drain plug...Yes, normal for that car) avec des outils normaux, de l'huile normal. Great vid, thanks for informations that convainc me to stay on this kind of cars.
Thanks 🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing !
Not bad considering the cost of the car..
Nice video !!
thanks! Much appreciated!
Wow thank you
More video!!
Looks easy -- but if DIY and logged in the book, do you think ACURA will give you a hard time when something goes wrong?? I'm saying, let say you have engine problem not associated to oil starvation.
if these cars come down in value I wonder if people would would cut a hole to access the main drain plug and just drain that one and adjust the frequency of changes to make up the difference. that's how some transmission changes work. I guess you still have to get the damn filter though.
Love the car 👍🏻
Thank you! 🙏🏽
2:46 Red NSX NA1? spotted in the back
Yes indeed!
It was interesting.
With an exotic car,
You should get service from a trained
technician. 2 oil changes per year
will cost you about
$1000.
thanks! definitely not cheap. I estimate I will need another one around this time next year.
Castrol 0W-40 is my preference. That is insane price for a oil change.
Yup, Definitely not cheap.
Not bad for a supercar like vehicle...butttt ... I would do it myself if I had a nsx and saw this video ... Sooo glad my old Accord is simple lol
Spotted a red gen1 in the back!
Yes good eyes! Lol
Just curious why they used Mobil 1 Oil and not Acura branded oil? I wonder if I get the same in my TL. Cool video.
23k for oil change in a Bugatti, and it uses a sump system as well.
Its called a dry sump. My z06 uses one and is $130 dollars at the dealer. 2 drain plugs. Extremely easy, it is not so easy lifting a car with an engine in the front and transmission in the rear tho. If you don't know what your doing it could be a bad day.
If I could afford a car like this I would be getting a massage in the waiting room. They should at least have that service if you gotta do all that for an oil change
Lolo
My Honda dealer hasn’t massage chairs.. 🤣🤣
Very informative video indeed !!!
Thanks 👌
I’m new to actually owning cars so I thought at at the end he was gon say 3,000 or something 😂
Thats Ferrari territory and above
lot people talking that to expensive or do it you're self well if you have the equipment to do it go on, but dont come crying that something went wrong or etc, you need good equipment and more for a expensive car that cost more than $190k brand new cause used nsx is about $140k i think or go to the dealer and paid like this one $200 bucks or go any oil change company that use low quality oil and filter and u paid $300 or $400 go for toyota camry or accord that's for sure its gonna happen and u get riffed up.
🇹🇭🇹🇭 Watch your channel in Thailand. 👍👍
Greetings! Thanks for your support! 🇹🇭🇺🇸❤️
Good to know this information.
Glad you like!
Damn I thought my oil change was expensive LoL 😂
Lol
I guess the only person that is allowed to perform all the work has to be a Certified NSX only tech. Kind of the same treatment with my R35 when I go to my trusted Nissan dealer and trusted GT-R certified only tech. that's why they get paid the big bucks and in my opinion it is all worth it 🤙🤙🤙
Have you done any mods to your GTR? I had a 2016 white one with red interior but never modded it.
Yes sir. It’s not meant to stay stock lol FBO, ID1050 injectors, HKS straight pipe from turbo all the way, HKS intake and charge pipe, ETS street intercooler, Shep trans stage 1.5, Tial bov, toyo r888r, and flex fuel tuned on ecutek and some CF aesthetics here and there... it’s totally different beast and a whole lot of fun! I track mine on occasion time attack and I wanted it to last and I have a second car as my daily. Do you have any plans on yours?
Thank you bro.
You're welcome!
Super car!
Why are the Acura signs on the building backwards?
That’s why I never take my car to the dealership have an oil change. Ever since I got married in 2016. My spouse changes my oil on my 2004 Acura RSX. Bought that car 2 years ago.
You definitely save a lot of money that way. Do y'all change your own brakes too?
Haven’t done that yet. But I will soon though. Bought the car at a used car dealership and I’m not sure if they changed the breaks or not before we bought it.
Your oil change would be $40 at the dealer i work at. So don't compare an exotic cost to a regular consumer vehicle.
@@jessicamathews5758 you might also get the added benifit of a complete inspection even if you don't perform the work at the dealer. You'll know what needs attention if anything
Meanwhile the faster C8 has only 1 drain plug and spin on filter. Both being easy access that you could easily change yourself.
Can't knock the C8 design in that regards. What metric are you referring to when you say the C8 is faster? NSX top speed is -195mph and 2.9 second 0-60.
@@autodreams114 using the exact same publication Car and Driver got 2.8 0-60. They both had the same 1/4 mile. Considering the cost difference between the 2 cars that's substantial. Road and Track also got 2.8 0-60.

Are you looking to get one? I cant wait to see how fast Z06 will be!
@@autodreams114 yeah, Z06 will probably be really sweet and no I am not looking to get one unfortunately any time soon especially with how things are right now. Just bought a new Mustang GT recently and have already put nearly $10k in upgrades on her.
Wow. 5 qt of Mobil 1 100% synthetic at Walmart is around $23. Beautiful car, but engineering sure didn't think about ease of service. BTW, my old 2010 Camry and Lexus IS350C takes 6.44 Qt, almost as much oil as your NSX. Enjoyed your video.
Thank you sir!
Yeah, Honda sure messed up the engineering !
7 quarts of oil cost $60 synthetic oil, I have 2013 Honda accord i only used synthetic oil since I bought it and it only cost me $40 if I do it myself, dealership cost $50
Cool story
Brakes on this car cost almost as much as your 2013 Accord new. Have to do apples to apples comparisons
Compare Honda Accord to NSX lolz 😆😆
Is that guy the Acura NSX master tech?
Yes
Thank you for Thai subtitles
You're welcome!
my dream car just got a tlx type s baby nsx lol
This is a car an Astronaut would like
I like your thought! 😀
Not the Turbo S, if it was I would have kept it as those are real awesome.
Beautiful car!!
Thank you 🙏🏽
The blinker fluid change prob cost double that.
What was the oil change interval from the last time? (mileage and time)
How much does it usually cost to do an oil change
Around $400 at an Acura dealership
Would it be possible to snake a tube down the dip stick and suck the oil out?
Over $400 and they don't even do a little flush before they put back the oil drain?
That's a whole lot of unscrewing, and here I am complaining about removing 3 screws from underneath..
Thanks for the video....very informative....but my biggest question is....How many miles per oil change?.....hopefully not that often
Thanks! Once every ~ 7000 miles. I drive the car roughly 5000 - 6000 miles each year.
@@autodreams114 thank you for the reply! I will definitely subscribe to your channel because I'm definitely looking fwd to seeing what your car will do with that upgrade***
The NSX has always been on my wishlist....along with the Audi R8...the Porsche GT3 RS....and the Nissan GTR....what other cars interest you besides this one?
super easy
A super car you can service is why I LOVE the Honda NSX.
Try that on a McLaren Senna, you cannot even touch it. Seriously, the engine bay is sealed to ensure profit for the Manufacturer, the way of the future for most cars.
Japanese are very honest and do not build as much if any planned obsolescence and design their engines to the best ability.
Sealed Transmissions and Sealed Engines can be manipulated to ensure a rate of wear (due to inability to change the oil earlier or at cost effective ways past warranty) to break at a predetermined time.
This Honda engine will without a doubt outlast other Supercars Hypercar engines including McLaren, Bugatti, Lambo, Zonda, Koenigsegg etc just by virtue of ability to service leading to actual servicing and early servicing removing any contaminants earlier.
Awesome comment 👌
The Senna cost 1 million dollars. If you can afford that, you will NOT be worried about the cost of oil changes.
Beautiful machine:)
Thanks!!
That’s a car payment price just for oil change when the one quart oil only cost u about $8+ and filter is like $10+ . Why not do it yourself when it don’t cost u under $100 😭😭😭
Muan Phakdy when you have the type of money to purchase this car, most people aren’t worried about a $500 oil change. Regardless, if you wanted to do it yourself filter and oil would be much more than $100 because of the kind of car it is.
Its look eassy because they have all the tool and the lift, with out that lift will be pain in the asss to do
Imagine using Motul oil it would have been 800 dollars damn lol. It’s worth taking it to the dealership 👍🏾
Why do I get the feeling that this NSX is going to plummet in value And have engine trouble in the future and the original NSX is going to keep raising in value and not have engine trouble
I hope that's not the case. What it has going for itself amongst other things is rarity. Thru the end of 2019 there were only ~1200 in the US. Time will tell though.
Wow crazy I believe that’s about how much a bmw v10 m5 costs for an oil change, are you changing the oil every 3000 miles as well on the nsx?
About 7000 miles
A job you can do yourself. Spend most time removing the covers and all the oil drain plugs are for a V6. Should had been a 2 Man job and done quicker for labor..
Doesn't change labor, why have 2 technicians doing a job capable of 1.
@@ceescorner Makes the job quicker and faster too move on..
It's more expensive to pay two flat rate techs to do the same job.
Pretty crazy you have to access the oil filter in the trunk! Must be a pita not to spill any drops of oil in there.
Yeah I never expected it to be in that location lol.
Forgot to drain the Blinker Fluid.
Damn $200+ for 7 quarts of M1 and a filter?
They dont call it a stealership for no reason... you can get a 5 qt jug of mobil1 full synthetic 20,000 miles annual protection for $35 bucks at walmart and a M1 mobil1 20,000 mile filter for $10 to $15.. surprised the dealeship didnt force the owner to bend over after fucking him that hard over cost of materials
Champaned Out they have to pay to keep the lights on. Businesses are not charity cases lol. It’s like a movie theater charging $10 for a soda, it’s to cover it’s costs
@@JKIZZLLE take that NSX to a mom and pop independent shop and see how much the price difference is... i know the principles of owning a business and what overhead cost is... you clearly haven't done your research and checked prices between a mom and pop independent shop because i guarantee you it will be cheaper by at least 20% or more... but hey continue to give your money to the dealership if that makes you feel safe... there are always specialist shops that can do the work better and definitely cheaper
Champaned Out I mean that’s true too. I’m just telling you the reason for their prices. Plus I always cross shop prices with other dealerships and haggle the service advisors down 10-20% anyways. Sometimes the mom and pop places quote me higher than the dealership!! It just depends
Just buy a base model C8 corvette. Faster, cheaper and a hell of a lot easier to work on!
Still, not an nsx. You will see the c8 everyday and it will be just another corvette that will be replaced by c9, c10, c11.
I’d buy the C8 just to rag and abuse the shit out of it in front of a corvette meet.
No Name the corvette will die before the NSX dies.
...and less reliable!
Time is money. When you are making insane income, sometimes its worth to drop the $500 so your 3 hours is spent making $10,000. Think about it. Folks in high ticket sales (B2B, real estate, solar, etc), investment/trading, or internet economy (UA-camrs, Twitch streamers, affiliate marketers, etc.) would gladly value their time. Where us lowly folks would rather save money and burn our time away...
