'00 With 141k miles - transmission fluid drain and fill?
First and foremost I would like to thank everyone for sharing their Acura knowledge, it's amazing!
I apologize in advance if this question has been answered in the past but I've been searching the forum for awhile and currently I'm at a dead end.
I have a '00 with 141k miles and I have never changed the transmission fluid (I bought the car in '04 with 43k miles). I would like to change the fluid but I've heard it may do more harm than good.
Any advice would be appreciated.

lol if u lasted this long w/o a change i dont see a reason to change it.....yes i know u should go by the book and do a drain/fill, but most people get the supersition that when they change the fluid, it causes the tranny to go......im still two sided on if i should do mine.

lol, who told u that??? wow. the transmission fluid should be changed every 60k miles, only use ACURA ATF-Z1 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID, nothing else, and just do a drain and refill, not a flush

u went 100k miles, hell I may do that, go to 105kmiles and then change it along with my timing belt, consolidate services I guess, but whatever the case at the end of the day the tranny fluid eventually needs to be changed

I tell u. I love my 99tl, but my 91 Legend was a much more worry free car. It even felt more solid. I got it up to 176k miles before i had any major that needed to be done (Head Gasket). Im about to dump my TL, and look for a low mileage Legend.

Tranny fluid
hello,
I am impressed. I have a 2000 TL. I had the transimission fluide, drain and refill only at every 16-17K miles. Therefore, it had several fluid refill/drains.
And it still died (began to slip, check engine light, and tcs light came on) at approximately 94K miles.
So that is my input, I dont know...
