Thanks for the link but it doesn’t give me a answers to my question.. can some on tell me transmission filter change is a must or no need for 2017 Acura RDX... please need your guys input .. thanks agian

 

What does the owner's manual say? If it doesn't say to change it, I wouldn't worry about it. If it was needed, I'm sure they'd say so if for no other reason than the dealer could charge you a couple hundred dollars for it.

 

You have a lot more confidence in the owner's manual than I do. That said, I don't believe the 2G RDX even has an AT fluid filter. One thing I'd highly recommend (which actually goes against the recommendations in the manual) is switch to Maxlife ATF via the 3x drain and refill. This has made a noticeable improvement in driveability for me and lots of other folks on the forum.

 

Well actually, it does.

 

AGREED x1000

 

Thanks.. never heard of max life AFT... is there a thread for this info.. please sent one so I can read up on it

 

Here's a thread where I relate my own personal experience with MaxLife ATF MaxLife + S-VCM Controller

If you want to go deeper, just google "MaxLife ATF in Honda Transmissions" There's loads of info out there

 

Oh excuse me, Just thought you might be asking, how to change the filter,,didn't understand you wanted to know if you ever should change the filter. I change my filters as a matter of being proactive towards maintenance.

 

Thank u pool men

 

thank u Poolman

 

From Valvoline...

I'll wait till I am off warranty since it states "Max Life is not an OEM licensed product".

 

thanks that’s what I was thinking about. Too.. thanks again for the heads up
