My 2013 RDX AWD is showing that A123 service is due. I see what is involved in this on the Acura maintenance info. How much does it cost, usually? Thanks.

 

A123: (varies by dealer)
A1: Oil Change and tire rotation (~$72)
2: Engine Air Filter/cabin filter (~$50)
3: Replace Transmission Fluid (~$80)
Yes... I know it doesn't add up but...
I'm pretty sure it will come out to be more than $350 at your Acura Dealer. Try Honda Dealers? Or go independent.

 

How many miles do you have if you don't mind me asking?

 

I usually take my own oil I purchase from Walmart (Mobil 1 5w-30) to the dealership. I have lifetime tire rotation/balance with Discount tires. Lifetime alignment with Firestone. Purchase and clean yearly my K/N drop-in filter. Purchase cabin air filter from Walmart and replace yearly. I use the dealership for labor, oil filter, other fluids like AT or transfer case, inspections, and car wash. I still take it to the dealership for all fluid changes. I can get the A123 service down to about $100-$120 at the dealership; but, I have to trade the $$ with 3X the time on my end.

 

A123 just popped up at 56K. I'll probably order and install an OEM engine and cabin filter before going in for the service. The transmission fluid was changed around 45K for the torque converter issues (transmission judder), so I assume I'll have another 20-30K before another change.

I think I'm on the hook for an oil change, multi-point inspection, and tire rotation. I'll be calling the two locals dealers to find out who'll give me the best price.

 

how many Quarts of honda ATF is needed for the 3X3 ATF change, and how much transfer fluid is needed fir the transfer fluid change?

 

Automatic Transmission Fluid
Capacity
AWD:
3.1 L (3.3 US qt) at change
8.0 L (8.5 US qt) at overhaul
2WD:
3.1 L (3.3 US qt) at change
7.0 L (7.4 US qt) at overhaul

Transfer Assembly Fluid Capacity:
0.41 L (0.43 US qt) at fluid change
0.45 L (0.48 US qt) at overhaul
3. Reinstall the filler plug using a new sealing

 

thanks man!
