I just put this on my 2002 TL Type S. Haven't had a chance to drain the oil with it yet, so can't give any opinion on ease of use for draining the oil. However, it has no leaks and fits perfect.

I've been using this for a year with no problems. My only complaint would be slow drainage but it's worth the "no mess" factor. And it does fully drain the pan (for all practical purposes).

I think it's the same as all the Accords..Fram part #SD2 just my guess by looking at the Fram web site
Acura/Honda really don't mix and match parts that much. Our oil filters are the same as Hondas. Fram 3593A

That's a pretty good idea. I think I will give that a try. For me, taking out the oil filter makes a bigger mess than the drain plug. Now if only they have something for that....

as for that Fumoto drain plug, even though my car isn't lowered i still wouldn't feel safe with that thing. as per the safety section on their site:
1.Drive carefully at all times, and if you run over any foreign object on the road, pull over and check the valve for any damage or leak.
2.N-Series valve(with Nipple to accept hose) is not recommended for passenger cars with low ground clearance.
that "drive carefully at all times" just makes it sound like a hassle.

my bad...it was late...interpreted the meaning of his sentence wrong cuz he says he hasn't had the chance to drain the oil yet but has the new plug on already, so i thought...but has anyone experienced any problems with the Sure Drain plugging up? and when putting it on, dya need to torque it too? or is a 1/4 turn with any old wrench ok? i don't wanna have to buy a torque wrench and use it just once.

u just need to hand tighten it & u'll be fine. however, it makes no harm to check the value every time u change oil just to make sure it's not loosen.
