Just changed the oil! The filter is the RSX's filter (thin long one, not the short fat one) not the previous generation one (had to go change it). It will take 4.5 quarts. Regular oil wrenches are too big. I used a strap wrench. To reset the the oil monitor just press on the reset button for about 20 seconds (be patient if you hold it the oil reset screen will pop up) reset it and your done! My mileage is 5200.

PS: I used synthetic oil and I think I gained at least 20 HP!!!!

just kidding!!!

Yes, that's the way to reset it without paying extra money to ask stupid dealers doing this for you.

Where can one find Mobil 1 in 5w20? Walmart here has it in 5w30 only.

Doesn't exist yet. Amsoil makes one and another mysterious company Purple something.

Go to Amsoil web site and read about why it is okay to use type oil for your car.

Some ppl use Mobile 1 0w20 instead of 5w20 syn oil.

fasTLane

Where have you found 0w20 Mobil 1?

vtechbrain

Mobil 1 0-20 will work just fine. It is sold at essentially all auto parts stores. Just to drive home the point, as long as it has the API seal, use regular oil and save $$$$.
