trans

Hi, i have a 2012 tl 3.5, with 110k, starting to shift a little rough. Not sure if trans has ever been serviced. Should I go ahead and do a trans flush with the acura atf dw1?

Do yourself a favor and buy a case of DW1 ATF from a honda dealer, I got mine from Bernardi acura around $7/quart plus shipping: Look into the 3x3 method to change the trans fluid, you'll end up using about 3.5L of fluid each time depending on how long you let it drain for.

Can't hurt to replace the inline ATF filter as well, located under the battery tray. I suggest buying OEM from actual dealer and not Amazon, eBay, etc.

Good luck!
