Engine exploded view
My '05 reaches to 4.5Kmiles. I think it's time to change the Engine Oil and perform the Drain & refill the ATF procedure. Does anyone have the Mechanical Exploded view diagram including part list to show where the Engine Oil Filter & its drain plug also the ATF drain plug & Refill? - Thanks in advance...

Not sure where the ATF stuff is.

What percentage of oil life remaining is on your MID? Acura recommends leaving the original oil in until the change is recommended because of the additives.
You should not even think of changing ATF until at least 30,000 miles. There is no need to, and you can only change 3 quarts anyway, but at $4.00 a quart it is cheaper to wait.
Page 205 of the Owner's Manual has a picture of the location of the oil pan drain bolt. This is just inside the right wheel, and you will see that large curved pipe which will give you a reference to the location of the bolt.
Once you find the drain bolt, the filter is forward of that and is easily visible.

I dont reccomend to wait for the mid to change your oil. I would chnge it every 3-4k miles. I waited till my mid told me to change, and the mechanic showed me how bad my oil was. So thick and sticky like glue. When he changed my oil, i could feel a major difference in transmission shifting., It felt hundreds of time more smoother than before. I used castrol 5w-30.

2) This is similar to my '02 Odyssey which is recommending the ATF changing @ 30K miles but here is the catch...The Odyssey procedure is stating that to drain & refill the ATF->drive the car for 30 min., drain&refill again and repeat the procedure for the total of 3 times. After reading it I decided instead of wait, I'll perform the same procedure @ 10K interval with one time drain&refill each. By the time the car reach to 30K miles, I still meet the requirement but by doing this, my trany is having 3 new quart of oil every 10k.

Engine oil has nothing to do with your tranny. I think your mind is playing tricks on you.

Not a Blowhole
Check the RR Journals, where i described doing the ATF change in detail. No pictures, but you should be able to find the tranny drain plug easily, and the fill is up on top of the engine, near where ther ATF cooler (looks like a 5" cylindrical canister) sits.
