Interesting observation in looking at the TSB's details. There's a list of parts required if they need to do the tear-down work. In that list, they indicate as an oil filter 15400-PLM-A01 . Seems very interesting to me they specifiy the Filtech version of the filter, rather than the -A02 version that has been the default choice for the last decade or so....... Hmm.....

Generally if holding a steady throttle while going up a slight hill you'll feel a judder, and see the rpms jumping up and down just a hundred or so rpms. Flushing the ATF and updating the software has fixed like 98% of the issues that I've seen.
