I just did the rear diff. fluid change. No problems. Dropping the spare tire gives you a ton of room and only takes a minute. I used suction gun/plunger stlye....like a big hypodermic needle to draw fluid out of the VTM bottle and then plunge it back into the filler hole. I checked with Honda here in Canada and they never have had the pump action bottle tops for the 3.79 liter bottles of VTM fluid. That would have been easier, but still was not much of a hassel.

The fluid I took out looked pretty new and the magnetic drain plug did not have any metal shavings attached to it....looked clean as new. I looks like my car, which I just bought, must have recently had it's fluids changed as the trans. fluid looked good as well but DID have lots of junk on the magnetic plug.

I just have the transfer case gear oil fluid change to do and everything will be done for a fresh start with a clean record for it's new owner (oil and filter was just done as well)
