Transmission Fluid Change
Hi Everyone, I have a question about my RDX 2013 AWD transmission Fluid.I did some search which I found out two brands of transmission fluid seems reliable and fit for the car, but I dont know which one is better or any other suggest.
One is AMSOIL Signature Series Fuel-Efficient Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid:
AMSOIL Signature Series Fuel-Efficient Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid
The other is Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF
https://mobiloil.com/en/automatic-tr.../synthetic-atf
The Price is $160 vs $120 (case of 12). I would like to do is 3X3 flush.
I would like to hear your advise and suggestion. I am not very familiar with fluid.
Thank you very much!!!!!!!!

Hi Justnspace,
Thank you very much for your answer!!! It is very hard to find OME in the market.. I ask Acura Dealer, they only do drain/fill without flushing. So I would go to somewhere else which is also transmission professional and they doesnt offer the OME fluid but the replacement. That is why I post the questions which I can tell them which they should order and change into my car.
Thanks again for your time

here's the thing. when flushing, you dont need to do the 3x3...
flushing involves a pump that removes ALL of the fluid at one time.
the dealer has the correct idea of draining and filling 3x3.
the automatic has clutch packs that HOLD fluid when you remove the bolt...
so, in order to remove the ALL of the old fluid, you will need to do 3x3 drain and fill.
In My Honest Opinion, I would go to the dealer and get the drain and fill.
you are risking your transmission if you do a FLUSH
