@@Luckymontana100 what? You mean not for 4wd I guess, I understand because the axle will be there or else?

Need to maybe use extensions to get a place where you can attach your ratchet

Paper filter bro, don't change your engine oil filter as long as you change it every 3,000 miles?

@@carstuff8208 seriously?! Please don’t compare engine oil change to transmission fluid change!

@@carstuff8208 just do your research homeslice

English?

Can always use it if you know how to do it, if you have some transmission and engine knowlwdge, modern oil and transmission pans in many models don't use a gasket or oring anymore, they use silicone, so!, but thank you for your imput. And I did not used silicone because o-rings where still good, 5k plus miles later, no leaks and there won't be 👍

@@carstuff8208 The oem use of o rings voids your argument about using silicone . Just oil the o rings with ATF , that's all . Even the smallest amount of silicone can find its way to the smallest passage ways , why take the chance ? 46 year mechanic here . Motorcycle cases are a different story .

Amsoil gave you the info?

@@carstuff8208 yes they did!! I also just called another dealership. They still have no clue that the transmission has an external oil filter. They say the oil filter is internal how can the dealerships service cars and not even know what they’re talking about very worrisome!!

@@davewallace9048 they are not correctly trained

Horrible spot for a filter.

@@tigerskone2945 agree 100%, engineers way of taking away trans fluid heat through wall to wall coolant flow

0.61 qt, according to the owners manual (specs like this are in the "information" section -- page 687 for the 2022 RDX). From what I have read, be careful not to re-fill it too fast. The fluid can back up, and make you think that you have gotten it full when you have not. Measure how much drains and take note of how much you have put back in.

​@@attocoulombcould.you please tell me which honda fluid it uses, have not done it yet myself but I know it is different from the rear diff dual pump fluid, thanks!

Sorry I was bever notified about your questions

The front transfer case is located in between the transmission and the front passenger side axle. Drain bolt will be under the transfer case and fill hole bolt is located on the left side of the cardan (driveshaft to the rear differential).

Did you found the oil plugs? Let me know, I can elaborate

Haven't done it yet, judging by the sizw of the transfer I assume 2 quarts and it will start pouring back through fill hole before you finish the 2nd quart, most likely

Fill bolt is on left side? The driver side? Or passenger side? The camera angle is kind of hard to understand where you are in the vehicle... are you near the wheel well or do you need to reach around wheel area to access fill plug.. ? Sorry I've done rear diff & transmission fluid just need to do the front diff which I can't find fill bolt

@@jtproductionz4431 In the first part of the video, the view is looking toward the front of the car. This is nowhere near a wheel well. Fill hole is to the left of the drive shaft. So, barely on the passenger side of the centerline of the car. The drain hole is on the side of the transfer case, facing the same direction as the transmission drain bolt but a bit further toward the back of the car (maybe 6 inches?). IIRC, both are 3/8" drive. You should have a variety of 3/8" extensions to be able to remove the fill plug.

If you are refferring to boring cylinders and or shaving the block, I'll do that before using the moroso. Since it is not supposed to be filled to the edge

@@carstuff8208 hello... i have the moroso filler... but my block is getting bored first.. didnt knew that the moroso filler was supposed to be used before boring the block.... i cant do it after, right?

@@joseantoniodaly4875 yes, do it after it gets bored

I understand in between 30k and 40k

No more than 40k

@@carstuff8208 mine has 45k and maintenance code b3 but I changed only transfer fluid.

@@oviss5946 you can always change the trans fluid, mine was a lease that I bought from Acura with already 50k miles at 1 year of it being used by previous owner, 1st thing I did was change all the fluids cause I know Acura would most likely only change engine oil and nothing else, now I plan to change diff and trans fluid every additional 30k, so next change will be at 80k, problem with trans fluid will be ignoring it and for example waiting till 80k plus miles when the fluid is already out of service life, burnt and then changing it, new fluid with all its detergents will internally wash the old fluid's sludge and clogg the internal fluid filter and the trans will stay in neutral because of no fluid flow, only option will be to lower and open the transmission to fix it, all this because to this day, Honda won't design their freaking auto trans with an external oil filter that you can just change like engine oil and filter

Not recommended if bought a high milleage honda with unknown transmission maintenance, because if the oil is burned and sludged up, new fluid will wash the sludge out because they are high in detergents, and all that sludge will end up in the filter and leave the car in neutral. However, if you maintain de fluid with changes before it brakes down, that won't happen. It is a new technology 10 shift transmission, I can only imagine how much the trans repair shop will charge for that repair if they even know how to do it because it is not a common transmission yet. Most likely they will learn from trial and error at the clients expense, not even honda dealer techs really know how to fix this transmissions yet. They won't deny the car under warranty and just throw it in the dealer garage and work on it at their convenience "months".

It’s part of service B123

Window up to be able to get to the bolts, in other words you will need to have the power window actuator connected to open or close the window as needed with the key switch on

@@carstuff8208 thank you so much

Ebay

25450P4V013 search it with this part number because it won't show specifically for the RDX, but many new hondas are using the same filter on their transmissions

Thank you appreciate the info

This time I reused the orings, if they look good and you don't have new ones, just oil then a little before pairing parts back . Or you can just do gray silicone with the old orings together and seal it like that, gray silicone does wonders

Next time I change that filter, I will most likely get new orings even if I have to go to an autoparts store and match them out of an oring sizes box cause by that time orings will have 100k miles.om them so they may be toasted because of the heat .

@@carstuff8208 don’t they sell the o rings at Acura or Honda?

I just would get scared that pieces of the silicon will come off and start clogging things up. If they didn’t do it from the getgo, I wouldn’t even bother. I think it will cause more harm than good.

@@Apk24dc5 I understand, just some silicone over the orings themselves will do the job if needed be, let dry for 12 hours minimum before operation, onced dry, gray silicone won't be ripped from the metal parts to the stream otherwise just get the correct parts as it should always be, haha

Problem is, eventually it will desintegrate since made of paper like material and clog the main inside filter once and for all. This filter is specific for the torque converter fluid passage, that is why it is little.

@@carstuff8208 That makes perfect since to replace it, but for sure, it wouldn't be before 50k.

That is crazy!

Your positive feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks!

There is an internal filter that will need the transmission be opened to change it, however, if you don't have transmission issues and it is just a normal maintenance, this should be the only one to change, if everything is ok. The internal one is done with complete trans overhauls due to high milleage, etc or cathastrophic trasmission failure.

Awesome!, thanks for the feedback and the extra knowledge shared in this comment.

At this point you may had found your way, but I have a lotnof tools including ratchet wrenches, etc

Yes, eventually that will make them prone to cracking because of the diameter size that needs to be compressed, but it works, I normally do it with brake lines that are thinner and will shut with little pressure

Thank you so much for your feed back, going to make it easier for you, this guy has a very good video on it, with all the torque specs on the video description, all I'll ask is for you to like my video in exchange, thanks Link: ruclips.net/video/qxxjLvqLcr4/видео.html

You meant rear differential or front transfer case?

@@carstuff8208 the transfer case, for some reason I don't see it. Could you make a video about it?

@@NguyenDuong-ep7bp will verify and let you know, I forgot about it because it has not been mentioned yet for this suv's, need to inspect and see if it uses its own gear oil or if it lubricates directly from the transmission fluid, will let you know as soon as I can

@@carstuff8208 i appreciate you! Thanks so much!

Glad to help, I searched all around youtube, could not find a previous video with all the specifics I covered on these 3 part videos, I am also an automotive technician, so I felt I needed to help others with this new transmissions servicing.

Exactly. Your videos are the only ones on YT that show people how to change gen 3 RDX transmission fluid. Do you think taking off the driver side front tire will make the process easier?

@@JL-yw3rf well yes, you can lift and remove tires, assuming your trans fluid is up to normal level and just needs to be replaced, just make sure to measure what you took out and replace with the same amount of the new trans fluid and you'll be good, otherwise follow the link I posted on comments for another guy's video showing how to check the fluid level once you replace it.

Out of curiosity, what mileage did you change the fluid?

And what is the little paper filter called?

No because cement needed to be deeper inside, it cracked so we went another route, but it could work with a deeper foundation of cement

Like the man said, there are videos that show how to remove the inside door panel. This ain't rocket surgery

Your's will be a turd too.
