New to Acurazine

Hello everyone, I just bought an 06 TL with 67k from the original owner, its a 5A trans and I would like to begin to change the transmission fluid as only Acura has serviced it since new and from what I've read I want to begin the process to change over to Redline racing fluid (its what I use in the Vette) The problem is I can't get the fill cap off, I've used a 1/2" breaker bar and it won't move. I assume its righty tighty, lefty loosey for the cap, I'm a bit afraid to apply to much force. I'm hoping someone can give me some tips on removing it. Thanks in advance for any tips

Hi, welcome to the forums. Sorry, I can't give advice on the fill cap. I'm sure someone will chime in.
