I am looking for the service manual information for a 2012 TL FWD trans fluid change.
Or is this the same previous models, drain and refill?

Thanks,

Thats all i did was drain and fill no power flush on my 09 TL.

I was not sure because the 2012 has a 6 speed trans.
I will buy a service manual, but I was hopping they will come down in cost. Helms $195.00.
Thanks,

Best way to do it to actually change closer to 100% of the fluid is to do basically 3 drain/fills with a brief test drive in between each. Or if you have a lift, run it in the air through all the gears, reverse, etc. This was the best procedure (and recommended by Honda) on the 4 and 5 speed autos; Im assuming on the newer 6 speeds as well. A simple single drain/fill is OK, but only changes roughly 30% of the fluid. And to mention again, Honda says "no" to flushing methods.
