😊 4:18 n.b .

So how many quarts of Transmission Fluid am I gonna need? Why are you putting in 3 and then draining and then refilling again. Also how did you get transmission warm? What was the driving you did? Or you just had it on and parked?

I just drilled a 1/4 inch hole in the plastic pan to drained it a lot easier

I believe HRT216 KSDA is the same thing is an SDA (so long as you do not have the 3 speed, which I do not think you do).

On the front of my 2011 transmission it looks like there’s a small hole that maybe a bolt would go in but don’t seem to have threads and it appears to be leaking clear fluid. New to this vehicle is this normal never seen something like this

👍😊

That RX-8 rear suspension rides higher than mine, and I have my 4 wheel suspension changed 2 months ago. Could this part (Strut Bumper) with reference F152-28-1A1A be the reason if it's a bit worn out?

How is your RDX Running Now, did the Valvoline do it's job or did it ruin the transmission?

It looks like your sprayer has a lock on the trigger, so that you don't need a clamp to hold it open. (Mine has a lock on it.) Yes it gets tiring, and so does pumping it. I was able to buy AISIN ATF-DW1 cheaper than the Valvoline. (I suspect they might be who makes it for Honda.)

Great advise thx

Rdx or mdx?

Nice idea

Is it OK to drain the transmission fluid when you have 159000.miles.

why not just remove the fill plug thats a 3/4 in hole?

David, THANK YOU. After viewing many others' attempts, I am very grateful to have found yours. ❤ Have a blessed day, sir !!!

i changed trans fluid in my 2014 RDX today. I drained and measured to be 4 quarts so I put in 4 quarts. people said 3.3 quarts, but I put in what came out --. 4 quarts.

Thank you so much😊

I wouldve mounted it in inside the floor storage bin. It would never see the elements

Hey how you doing Just did a 2016 RDX Yes that year could go probably to 18, I put 31/3 in, and I was a little bit over hot, I love the idea of the pump, that is an asset, eh. Qrt to qrt is a nightmare !! let alone getting four funnels to get down deep into the fill hole! 😡 thanks again for the video Great job all around . It's funny it was a year ago that I posted this that I did the first one, now I did my third one and the fluid is velvet red baby velvet

Hi David, did you ever come up with a good way to drain and flush the entire system. What is your opinion on disconnecting the trans fluid line that runs to the radiator cooler, and let the running engine pump the old fluid out of the torque converter until you get air bubbles, then drain the pan.

how is the ATF fuild doing with the car,,

Sometimes it's better to make it short, simple & straight to the point 😊

Just called my dealer...the parts alone are 750 bucks for pan and filter (which cannot be separated) and 9 quarts of oil...SERIOUSLY?...Then he says you really dont have to do anything to the 8 speeds because they have synthetic 8/9 speed specific fluid...the pan and filter was $350 the fluids are $350 and the labor is $165...plust tax is over $900 BUCKS!!...

why did you need a new pan?

Could someone tell me where the trans filter is located on the 08 rdx

Thank you for the video. I'm going to be using the valvoline fluid for my mine. I bought one of these Acuras to replace my old work car (218k mile 11 accord 4cyl 5sp.) I need to get 100k mikes out of this Acura. I got the 4cyl turbo fwd. It has 118k texas miles. I've had good luck buying the higher mileage texas cars. As long as they are well cared for. I'm not familiar with these cars at all. Do these cars have transmission pans and filters? I'm used to the typical domestic truck auto transmission or manual gear boxes. Thank you for your help.

IMPORTANT UPDATE!! After 2 yrs the compressor crapped out! I called Air Lift and they sent me a new one at a discounted price of $65 instead of $180, because I complained. I had the “old style” unit in my 2014 Ram with the gauge in the cab. It lasted 7 yrs and still worked when I sold the truck. Air Lift tells me it failed because I didn’t run it enough and the piston needs that lubrication or it will seize up. Well I NEVER ran my old one regularly, maybe 2 - 3 times a year when I needed the bags. I’ll run my once a month now whether I need it or not. Just a caution to others to avoid the problem. VERY disappointed in Air Lift!

Good job on video and repair.

I got the HDX 1 gallon pump sprayer, the spray tube fits in the ditpstick tube loosely and there no need to flatten the side.

Sorry off topic do you know what fluid the 2010 rdx calls for in the transfer case and rear differential. I’m assuming the rear diff is gear oil but I’m not sure.

Do you still recommend this method? Has your Transmission had any issues?

you should never drill the frame the kit does come with a Ubolt to go around the frame

Very helpful information, thank you

Thanks for sharing. I like sign behind you, the name of your garage!

I was told by dodge you don’t change the fluid 2016 dodge ram 1500

Know you've probably searched it up, but the sensor at 6:10 and 16:20 is for the auto leveling headlights. There should be another sensor on the front lower control arm as well.

Also use Valvoline in my RDX, shifts much smoother!!!

Are you using fresh fluid every time you flush it through? thanks

Great job! Thank you. Since it was your "first" video, you owe a case of beer!

Did trans do ok with that fund? Heard honda trans are sensitive and to only use honda/acura fluid..

As a mechanic with 20+ years experience trust me when I say, Don't flush, drain and fill is your best bet. I don't know how many flushes I've seen come back and the transmission is slipping on every single make and model.

I do believe Boosted made a point of the "transmission" being level (not the truck) when filling and doing the level checks. On trucks that means you need to jack up the rear quite a bit (like tires 8"off the ground). Good idea on loosening the trans mount bolts for pan clearance if need to get the pan out. I have not seen any other videos mention trouble getting the pan out on later models and other videos do not mention getting the trans level but some did say get (truck level rather than the trans).

Hello sir, how many liters you used + - ?

Isnt better to use honda transmission fluid

Hello David, I have 2014 RAM 5.7, with 131 K mile on it, is it ok to do a Trans fluid change or it will harm my transmission? here its cost around 3K USD for a used trans :)

Thanks for the video. Very helpful!

When the truck is level on your lift, your tranny will not be level. The tranny tilts down quite a bit. The advice I got was to do it on the ground with the rear raised at least 8 inches. I'm doing this soon and checked the other day. I jacked up the rear and slid ramps under my rear wheels. Then I checked and sure enough the tranny was close to level. If it's not level, you may not be getting enough fluid in there.

There is a fill plug on top of the transmission if you look straight down near the mass of cylinder area you'll see a 17 mm plug and a lot of them say ATF right on the plug so you don't have to use a pump

How have these held up?

Genial me acabas de ayudar a hacerle el servicio a una que recién compré.
