The yellow oil can light on a 2005 Acura TL indicates that there is an issue with the engine oil system, typically related to low oil pressure or low oil level. It serves as a warning to check the oil level and ensure that the engine is properly lubricated. If the light remains on after checking and topping off the oil, it may signify a more serious problem, and it's advisable to have the vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic. Ignoring this warning could lead to engine damage.
i have a 97 acura 3.0 cl and just recently got an oil change and the maintenance required light switched from green to yellow, what does this mean?
It means that your 2005 Acura RL is due for an oil and oil filter change, general look over/inspection, and check tire pressures.
Usually your oil needs changing. You have to reset the light yourself. Look in manual it will show how to reset it.

It means that it is time for an oil change. I just found that out. Usually when you get an oil change from a professional place they reset the light for you. If you do the oil change yourself, then you must reset that light yourself. Its easy, under the maintenance required light is a hole, I though it looked like an alarm sensor but I was wrong. That's were you stick your key in the hole and the light changes from Yellow to Red then Green. Green represents, you have complied and the car can go 3000 miles, until the light changes Yellow. Yellow represents (Warning) it is time for an oil change. If you don't change the oil and continue to drive another 1500 miles the light changes from Yellow to Red.Meaning (Danger) now it is def time to change the oil.

My book states that the oil capcity with filter is 4.5 US Quarts
Your oil isn't yellow, its a light brown/gold color as such with almost all new (unused/not dirty) oil. It just looks yellow because of the light.
most likely because you have no oil in your engine check it i change the oil i went to mechanic he check the oil but light showing .
It means it's time to change the oil.
The oil life monitor or the red oil light? Red oil light is bad yellow oil life monitor light means it needs to be reset
The 2005 Acura MDX has an engine oil capacity of approximately 4.5 quarts (or about 4.3 liters) when using a standard oil filter. If you're changing the oil filter as well, you might need to add a little more oil to reach the proper level. Always consult your owner’s manual for the most accurate specifications.
