Ladies and gents, I am a trained mechanic but ever so often I deal with a newer vehicle or a vehicle that belongs to a person I care about (my wife’s 2019 RDX A-spec) I’ve watched a couple of other vids on this matter. One was a 3 part series that had a lot of unnecessary steps done. I ended up totally discounting it. It didn’t make sense. This gentleman I want to thank you for creating a simple, direct and to the point video. It got me through my wife’s car properly and accurately. Definitely a thumbs up. Thanks again.
My feelings the same. I think I know what video you are talking about where the guy pulls off the chiller and replaces the filter. That is a lot of extra work that really isn't necessary and will probably just give you an oil leak. Changing the fluid is all dealerships do when they service the transmission. You will achieve as much improvement that you will ever notice.
I just did it for 2021 RDX at 59K miles for the first time. Drained 5.1 quarts out. Refilled 5 quarts (I only bought 5 quarts) from the top using a long hose connected to the fill hole. Did not bother to remove the level check bolt.
You do not need to remove ANY of that stuff on the top. You can just work from the bottom to reach the drain, fill, and level check bolts. For filling, you can either pump it from below, or snake a tube from the top and pour it in through a funnel.
What you said is true. However, I think I will prefer the method in this video since it makes refilling so much easier from the top/breather hole after watching several other videos.
@@yubinc8874 If you are going to replace that filter (not an Acura recommended maintenance item, but I would do it once at maybe 80k miles), then you might as well fill from the top. Otherwise, you are more than doubling the labor for a fluid change.
I have changed transmission fluids many times on several cars in the past 16 years. Even though I don't need to remove all the stuff on top nor change the filter, I'm going to spend that extra time to do it anyways just to fill the fluid in the breather hole rather than the time to pump into the original filler hole from underneath. I just finished doing my RDX today. IT IS THAT MUCH BETTER, MY GOD.
There is a transmission oil filter on the 2019-202x RDX. It’s very similar to my 2014 Honda Accord transmission filter I change. The dealer parts department should have it just call in advance before show up. This is not a maintenance item but you could change it. Drain and fill the Trans oil every 30k miles should be good. Just don’t let the oil get dirty which will clog up the filter.
Excellent instruction and very easy to understand. Thank you.

I could not agree more.

There is no doubt that this man studied at IIT India.

Working from the bottom better, less work, and you make sure the level is correct.
It is the same procedure for 2020 RDX?
Most important thing is the quantity of the oil drain and same quantity to fill, I never did 2020 , but it should be similar
When should I do this to my RDX? It has 52K miles
I will say around 45 , I don’t know what they recommend.
Can you show me how to get the ATF oil filter out?
It’s a sealed transmission, I have not seen filter on Honda or Acura.
@@geosgarageandharleyusa2950 It is in the left side of the fill hole (u showed in the video)

It's under the transmission fluid chiller. You have to remove the chiller to get the filter out.
