when how often should we optimally be changing it? I didn't see it in the maintenance book at all...

 

I think it's either at 15,000 miles or at 30,000 miles. I'm not sure...some people say 15K and others say 30K.

 

Please look into the maintenance schedule in the manual. My ATF was changed at 30,000 miles. Next time I will tell them to flush the system and change the filter. In addition, I'm thinking about using a synthetic ATF.

 

I did mine at 13K just to be safe.

 

Did mine at 15K

 

Take a look at page 196/198 of your owner's manual, you won't beleive the time interval that Acura recommends.

 

what is it?
its cold out :p

 

NOthing is better than genuine honda transmission fluid, any other brand will have make it hard to shift

 

BTW, there is NO filter in the transmission to change. You just change/suck out the tranny fluid, add new, and screw the plug back in.

 

I changed mine at 13k and just recently at 18.5 k I know...it's overkill...
