are you boys changing the filter also? i was reading a dyno of fluid made by purple something. they make fluid for power steering, trans, and oil. they changed all the fluids and it increased the hp on the dyno like 8%. this was done on a syndicated hot rod show on cable.

I have their 5W30 in the engine and so far it seems to a good oil.
As far as the tranny oil.. in the manual ('02 TL) They say you MAY use regular Dextron III fluid but change it at the first opportunity.
It seems the Honda/Acura is not a regular Dextron/Mercron III tranny fluid.
So when it comes time for a fluid change... its gonna be from Acura.
