what fluids can i change?
hey guys, i think its time for my TL to have all its fluid changed. what are the different types of fluids that i can change myself..?? i already change engine oil myself.. what else?? i'm a noob when it comes to doing stuff... so it must be easy as changing engine oil...
btw, can you guys tell me the exact type of fluid to buy. i know you can change ATF, gonna do that soon, but what type of ATF do i use? i know its honda, is there only one type of ATF for all hondas & acuras? thanks in advance!

i always recommend people to get a tranny flush from the dealer. the dealer has a vaccum to suck all the ATF fluid out of the tranny. i personally think this is a better way to drain the transmission fluid as opposed to the drain/fill/drain/fill procedure. yes, use Honda ATF ONLY
coolant flush...DIY. use Honda coolant as well. recommend change interval at 120K miles than 30K afterwards, if you believe that. otherwise, use regular Prestone coolant..and change every 2 years..
brake bleed...hm...get it professionally done. DOT3 Honda/Acura compatiable-recommended
and, power steering fluid...Honda/Acura compatiable-recommended
