Does anyone think there would be a problem getting my Transmission fluid changed by a Honda dealer vs Acura dealer?
The reason I ask I can save approx.$40.00 by going to Honda. Is there a difference between Honda fluid vs. Acura they both use DW-1 correct?
I notice that Honda's fluid says Honda on it and Acura says Acura on it both DW-1.

I believe they're the same stuff... I'm sure someone will correct me if it's not.

Same fluid (if for no other reason than it's the same transmission). Be sure to find out if they'll do to the job correctly (assuming you want a complete fluid change)(as complete as can be accomplished that is). That mean it swapped out 3 times with some transmission action in between (even if it's done on the lift, though with no load, the transmission won't want to shift). It's not cheap: 9 quarts of fluid (at around $9 a quart), a washer, probably some plastic push rivets (it's pretty common to break a few while removing the belly pan), plus labor. Parts alone should be around $100. If this doesn't sound right, they're not selling you a complete fluid change (again, this assumes that what you looking for).

^^ I still think the 3 fluid changes is an absolute waste, but whatever makes you happy. And I'm pretty OCD about maintenance and following OEM-spec as well.
