Hi I'm a proud owner of a 2003 MDX.

I have been writing threads on this forum for the last couple of days.......great site, I learned quite a bit.

I planning to change the two

• 3rd Gear Pressure Switch / Sensor 28610-RAY-003 #13
• 4th Gear Pressure Switch / Sensor 28600-RAY-003 #12

and
Temp Sensor 28650-RDK-003
since I got the codes read at the dealer and the result being the ATF Temp Sensor. (Yes, I am also planning to change the ATF).

But, My question is.................

Does a 2003 MDX have a ATF filter like in part number:
25450-P7W-003.

All input is appreciated......thanks in advance.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Non-serviceable on the 2003 MDX. You have to drop the trans to replace the filter.

 

I believe it can be accessed beneath the battery and air intake. See these links:

Like I said before. The ATF filter for the 2003-06 MDX is not serviceable. There is a serviceable ATF filter for the first gen trans on the 01-02 X's. The 03-06 filter is located internally adjacent from the valve body.


01-02 Trans w/ accessible filter




03-06 Trans w/ non accessible filter (notice no banjo fitting leading to filter canister as above)

 

thanks for the clarification!

 

hey Majofo... CLEAN up your inbox... tryin to pm u! Got some questions for ya on this for our 02 mdx and on timing belt.

 

How often should you change your ATF. I have an 06 MDX and it has not been changed.

 

i changed my transmission fluid when i purchased the car (pre-owned with 50k miles on it). it was very dirty (brown). i also have a 2006. buy a case of ATF - drain and fill 4 times to do a complete flush. in my opinion this should be done at least every 50k miles under normal use. maybe sooner if under heavy use or towing. i was looking forward to changing the filteralso until i read this thread...
