Question for RDX owners that do their own oil changes
I've posted this in the big oil change thread, but didn't get an answer.
I'm a new RDX owner and am looking at doing my own oil changes down the road. Here is one little part that I found to be a great help when doing oil changes on my WRX:
Fumoto Valve - http://www.fumotousa.com/
It's a valve that lets you adjust the flow out of the drain pan... no more mess's! Also, not to worry - It's designed in a way that a rock or debris cannot open the valve up while driving.
Has anybody done this to their RDX yet? I haven't been under the vehicle yet, but the site lists only two different Acura applications: 4 cyl and 6 cyl. Now, I know next to nothing about Honda engines, so would our turbo 4 cyl engine fit into the "normal" 4 cyl category? Also for those that have done the oil changes, will it need the adapter for recessed drain plug configurations?
Would anybody be able to answer the questions above in bold? Thanks!

Its a 4 cyclinder engine even if its turbo. Easier than the Fumoto Valve is buying an oil extractor which reduce the work even more. No need to get under the car other than for the oil filter.
