Informative af thank you Hondamobilemechanic!! Im approaching 12k miles and my maintenance minder is saying next service will be B16 so I was wondering about the rear diff fluid and I know it isnt covered with the acura factory maintenance plan... so i wanted to prepare to have the rear diff fluid switched out lol.
@@BCautosolutions The other day I was having an argument with one of my friends about warming up your car when you start it in the morning and also letting your car cool down (letting it idle for 3-5 mins after a long highway drive) before you shut it down I do think you must cool your car down but worming up is unnecessary for newer cars. What do u think as an expert?
@@Mm.2112 warming up for sure. Cooling down I only do if driving it hard and immediately stopping. If I’m driving normal like a commute to work I don’t let the car idle afterwards.
Man, thabk yoy for making this video, I know its been a long time coming. You're a godsend to this community. Interesting about the DOT 4 vs DOT 5. I do a lot of crazy track-like braking 😅 There's no downside to using DOT 4 in this car? I don't know much about brake fluid.
DOT 4 should be plenty. From what I’ve seen shouldn’t have any problems using it. Oem pads will light on fire way before the fluid boils which at that point, will probably boil 🤣
Got the wife's Integra with the 1.5t. Swapped oil at 100 miles to get the metal out. Damn there is very little oil in there, 3.7 quarts to be exact. Did they not learn from VW? VW had lots of trouble with turbo motors and not enough oil in the crankcase. Makes me nervous. Good content!
Can you please do one, for the 2016+ Honda Pilot I have a 2018 Honda pilot and would love a guide. Thanks 🙏🏻you are an absolute legend I had a P0441 a couple months back and you gave me direction, I took the car to a shop paid 380 and the light still came on , did it myself with a $25 dollar piece
Exactly what I was hoping for! Thanks for the awesome upload! *Edit: Any idea on the higher levels of boost this turbo can handle? Trying to find a sweet spot for the 23’ without harming any internals after the tune.
Thanks for watching! Not sure at what psi it stops being efficient and not sure at what point we will find out. Unfortunately nothing yet available from k tuner on the 23+ MY.

Love it and not worried one bit on long term longevity although like anything else turbo will have more wear then your average normally aspirated engine.
I was told by acura there is no front diff on any acura, just the transfer case and rear diff. Is that true? Cant find much online, was looking for a drive train schematic but no luck. Acura tlx type s.
Front diff/transfer case although we can say either one there are differences. Problem is most have never heard transfer case terminology so calling it the front diff just simplifies things for most.
@@BCautosolutions by the way I'm looking to upgrade my brakes any suggestions on after market pads and rotors or do know if any of the brembo calipers from the type s or ctr will fit on the RDX thanks for the reply ✌️
My 2023 TLX Type S has squeaky brakes and only 2500 miles. Is that just the Brembo’s doing what they do or too much brake dust ? Or like I’ve heard pre-mature warping ?
I went for the second oil change, the tech recommended carbon cleaning since the car was driven less than average, now the car's engine shakes..🤦♂️ He also recommend an alignment, now the steering wheel is crooked.
Did you experience any issues after replacing the rotors and pads to RB? Do you recommend replacing the pads or keeping the brembos? My type-s seems to vibrate when high speed braking.

Brembos will always be prone to being squeaky. If it’s at an absurd level, have your dealer look at it.
