Maintaining the Transmission of Honda and Acura Vehicles
For many years, American Honda Automatic transmissions have exclusively used red fluid. To maintain these transmissions properly, one should drain the old fluid and refill with genuine Honda Automatic Transmission Fluid. Since there is no pan and filter, Accurate Automotive advises performing this service annually or every 15,000 miles, whichever comes first. This practice is a reliable method to guarantee the durability and performance of your Honda or Acura automatic transmission.
This synthetic transmission fluid, characterized by its green color and unpleasant odor, is designed for use in the latest 9-speed automatic transmissions found in certain Honda Pilots, Acura MDX, and Acura TLX models. If your Honda or Acura is equipped with a 'push-button' shifter instead of a traditional gear shifter, this is probably the fluid that would be drained and refilled during service. Accurate Automotive advises changing this fluid in Honda and Acura vehicles annually or every 15,000 miles, whichever comes first.
It might seem surprising, but Honda debuted the first CVT transmission in certain Civic models back in 1993. Three decades on, multiple CVT transmission variants are found in Honda and Acura vehicles, making the use of the appropriate fluid essential. The drain and fill procedure is straightforward yet vital for the transmission's durability and function. Accurate Automotive advises a fluid change once annually or every 15,000 miles, whichever comes first.
In the early 1990s, American Honda recommended 10W40 engine oil for manual transmissions. However, by the mid to late 1990s, Honda introduced a specialized manual transmission fluid. This fluid offers improved shift quality over engine oil and contains additives to prevent oxidation of internal components, particularly the large ball bearings that support the main and countershafts. Accurate Automotive advises changing the fluid in Honda and Acura manual transmissions every three years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first.
