Oil Cooler Installed...
Just a quick question guys.
I went to the dealership to see if my car was affected, and it was, so they said they would install the jet oil cooler.
I asked for an invoice but was told they would not give one and it would be mailed out to me by Acura Canada. It has been over a month and I still have not received anything from Acura or the dealership.
I am starting to worry they didn't actually install this kit. How would I know if they did or not?
Thanks in advance.

you can look to see if they did. all you have to do is open the hood and look down to the back side of the intake tube

What i meant was can i just take the oil jet thing off when I go to fill up the transmission fluid after installing the tranny cooler as per the DIY by Austin.........I am getting tripped up by this last part since it connects to the same line almost and Austin559's TL did not have not have the oil jet cooler installed
Also do you have any good links to another DIY for a different point of reference
Thanks In Advance

What are you getting triped up on? The oil jet is just a piece they added between the lines that were already there. you still conect the oiljet to the same place, the oil jet just is a "T" off from one of the lines
There are NO other DIY's (sorry) for this. look closely at teh DIY and yours and you will see.

when the dealer replaces your tranny, do they usually add on the oil jet kit too?

I should have taken a pic of my finger after loosening the filler nut. Slammed it into the engine. OUCH=Be careful. The Acura mechanic must have used a torque wrench set to 200 Ft. Pounds when he refilled the Tranny fluid and retightened it. Hate that!

As far as the tranny revision TSB, the only thing you would receive from Honda/ Acura Canada is the actual notification about the TSB and not the invoice/ work order.

I had them up against test driving the car which they did not indicate on the WO. I ended up with new ball joints and new front-end bushings 'coz they could not prove they did test it.
