2018 RLX sport hybrid fluid change
I just bought 2018 RLX Sport Hybrid, has 35000 miles on it, not sure if the previous owner changed any fluids but I want to do them.
My 2008 RL has 3 fluids transmission, transaxle and differential. I was reading the manual that this car has transmission and twin motor fluids. I called the dealership to ask and I was told that it is like the 2008, I need to replace transmission, transaxle and differential. Is he correct? What is the twin motor fluid? |
I will preface with I do not have a RLX Sports Hybrid but do own a MDX Sports Hybrid which I believe have similar drivetrain. My manual also calls for the dual motor fluid change and it's simply DW-1 ATF, which is the same as what is called out in my 7speed DCT. On my MDX, if I look at the drain plug of the rear differential, it actually has ATF etched on it. I haven't had to change my center differential fluid yet, but it should be the 80/90 oil as all other SHAWD Acuras.

Just had my B16 service done on my 2014 SH. Yes, they changed the front transaxle and twin motor unit fluids.
|
Strange, the manual said to replace this fluid every 15K miles, and in heavy conditions 7.5K miles
|
I had mine changed at the dealer, I just hope the tech followed the proper procedures because I was billed for a old school dif and trans fluid change. Shifts were smoother, so I was happy.
