Okay, I finally got around to doing the Amsoil ATF change.. wish me luck. I did the 9 quarts, changing 3 at a time thing.. So far haven't noticed much difference. It's most noticeable cold though. It's much smoother. When warm not much diff. I have ~26k miles, and there was a little bit of gunk & shavings on the drain plug.
I've got the 100k extended warranty so no matter--if it goes it goes. Will post if the tranny fails.
Oh yeah, it's an '03.

I thought it was prohibitted to use anything but Hoda ATF.
I heard other manufacturers fliud kills our tranny's even faster.

That's what I thought too.. but the Amsoil fluid is now Honda Z-1 rated and supposedly "meets or exceeds" specs.

Guess I'll wait and see. From what I've read it's like 2-4k after the change.

another little chime

Also last fri I was at the Amsoil warehouse and the texas state police just bought 200 cases of oil and 100 cases of trans fluid,,, pretty good indorsment/test coming up

Daaayum! I didn't know you went nuts on system equipment

fender4

neither did I,, went in to add a little more bass ie infinity sub and came out wth this complete system,, a co op engineer owns this co at www.kmsaudiosolutions.com and somehow I ended up with this system,,, the noise on our head units make dam near impossible to use so I just replaced everything,, now it HURTS to turn it up but the normal sound is increditable.

Cool......definitely keep us posted. When I get a new tranny/or go past 100k miles, Amsoil + tranny cooler is definitely the way to go.
