It is not the lowest point, and while I know there are ways of hitting the not lowest point, I cannot imagine hitting this. I cannot be sure just looking, but I think it does not stick below the oil pan.

That has little or no bearing on whether you get oil on the undercarriage. On an NSX, the real opportunity to do that comes when you change the filter.icefire said:Here is a cleaner and easier option to go, TEMPO Oil Extractor , sold on Amazon site for $44.99. It siphons oil through engine dip stick tube and is very efficient. I read somewhere that it actually extract a bit more oil than just draining. Don't have to get under your car, risking oil spillage or staining undercarriage.

This is terrible advice. Re-used crush washers can indeed leak.godspeed01 said:You dont need to change it at all.

If you own your NSX for ten years, and get your oil changed three times a year, that's over eight dollars during that ten-year period!!! That's almost as much as it costs to buy three gallons of gas!Briank said:27 cents is not a lot of money.

You dont need to change it at all. Changed oil in ..... all 7 of my previous cars, civics, supras, nsx, del sol, mr2.... with out replacing any of the washers.
Just make sure it is tight. There is no way for oil to leak out.
Yes, absolutely. And the only reason not to use one is to save a big whopping 27 cents for each one. And you may not even have to pay that. Last month I realized I had a couple of oil filters that I hadn't purchased crush washers for. I walked into my local Honda car dealer parts department and he handed me two of them without charging me anything for them.To resurrect an oldie...I'm shooting from the hip here and using old fashioned mechanical common sense but aren't there a few big reasons to use one?
