newbie question: should I do a drain and fill transmission fluid or do I get transmission flush? what's the difference?
Just got my TL-S at 85k miles and will take it to the dealer for an overall checkup and minor service in a week. thanks.

Instead, you should simply follow Acura's recommendations and drain/refill the ATF; if your ATF is very dark in color, perform what is known as a 3X3 (which means drain/fill three quarts, repeat two more times).

you shouldn't do a FLUSH on honda/acura transmissions is probably what the guy meant... ANY AND ALL fluids NEEDS to be changed out at some point.. honda/acura recommends a drain and fill only unless youre rebuilding a tranny
if you really believe its safe to use the same tranny fluid for 200k+ miles, then i REALLY hope you stick to that advice with all your other future cars as well.. I also hope you encourage your family members with that same advice with their cars.. just tell them it has to be right because some guy in a tranny shop agreed with you
this forum is filled with knowledgeable car enthusiasts, most that know more than the general population of people that own cars.. so don't expect to say some retarded bull shit like that and NOT expect to get called out.. it's not okay to say dumb shit like dont change your ATF ever unless you have problems because other new comers that really dont have a clue will read your statement and think its true

Do NOT under any circumstances have your transmission flushed! If you do you will have a high likelihood of buying a new transmission in the near future. The thing is, flushing machines ram transmission fluid in reverse through the entire system, and automatic transmissions simply were not designed for such a procedure; the only reason why dealerships and service departments recommend such procedures is it makes them a lot of money.
Instead, you should simply follow Acura's recommendations and drain/refill the ATF; if your ATF is very dark in color, perform what is known as a 3X3 (which means drain/fill three quarts, repeat two more times).

Long story short, DO NOT ever flush an automatic transmission; drain and refill is the only proper method of maintenance.

From Acura TSB:
ATF Flush Procedure
NOTE: The term “flushing” refers to repeatedly draining and filling the transmission with Acura Genuine ATF-DW1. Other aftermarket flush systems are available, but American Honda strongly recommends that you avoid using them on any Acura vehicles.

but on a serious note, my good close friends dad is my mechanic who has a masters in mechanical automotive engineering and has his own shop specializing in transmissions! We just had a talk about how people hardly ever change their tranny oil! Put it this way, he ended it with, "your body is made up of a good percent of water; what you drink, you piss out! If you dont think you ever have to change your trans oil, then keep drinking your own piss over and over or get some new fucken water!"
