Transmission fluid filter
Has anyone ever replaced the transmission fluid filter on a '05 RL? Reason I ask is because I did see a filter on Acura parts website and wondered if anyone has done this before. From the looks of it, it is located on the timing belt side which can't be right. It is #3 in the photo. Figure might as well change it especially if I am doing a 3X drain and refill over a 3 week span. Of course I will change #23 ring that goes on the end of the filter.

It is considered a non-maintenance part. I have not seen anyone here change it, but it has been discussed.

That doesn't sound like a bad idea at 200k+. Are you doing it yourself? If so, could you take some pictures for us? This would be a new DIY.
