Just found your channel. I also have a 2012 TSX SportWagon. Bone stock. Have always had the dealer do the trans fluid. They never did the filter in 130k miles. Same for my 2013 RDX with 183k miles. If I'm correct, that's the filter for the fluid return from the trans cooler, same as the RDX except for the location. I changed the trans solenoid for the 3rd gear clutch on the RDX as it was supposed to be a cure for a sometimes wonky 2-3 upshift on the 6-speed auto. Didn't do anything and was a waste of $53. I figured out where and when it acts up and just drive it accordingly. As for my SportWagon, best car i ever owned. Bought it when it was 3 years old from the dealer. Only thing that sucks is the black paint is shot (particularly on the front fascia and hood). Was looking for the euro-spec taillights but they are a fortune and hard to come by.
Interesting that they changed the filter location within the CU2 model years. Even knowing where it is now, it doesn't make the swap any easier, but I'm giving it a shot. Thanks!
@@chrisb15679 that’s odd…I don’t remember seeing 2.6qts in mine. I ran 3.5qts, like the people on the fb groups say, and I’ve checked the ATF a few times since this video and it’s still at the same level, which is in the optimal range
I have a V6 verison of this car 2010 and I have been told that there is no filter that needs to be changed on that particular model. They said it had a screen.
@@sitandplay5647 it’s an HPS intake, check them out. They also have a short ram with a heat shield, but I believe this true cold air gets a little better performance

@@porkchopjr yeah the pre facelift was way better…but no problem! Good luck!
Thanks for the information
Love the car and video!! Just waiting for the big brake kit tutorial 😏
Hopefully gonna get to that soon! Need to roll my fenders, get some spacers, and order new brake pads and I should be set!
Double check the level. Owners manual and Service manual lists capacity at 2.6qt for atf fluid change.

I have a 2011 i'll double check at work. I know the tsx v6 takes 3.3-3.5 for sevice. Wonder if they did some updates. 🤔
@@chrisb15679 tsx wagons only came in 4 cyl
Do you have a part number for that oil filter?

Hey I wanna to know where do you buy you oil filters for the transmission??
@@jorgebrown8420 you can buy them at any parts store, I got this one from the Honda dealership
@@dylancool8638 do you think it fine if i buy on Amazon?? Or it need to be form the dealer??
@@jorgebrown8420Ordered a $6 one from Amazon today. They even have a four quart Honda tranny fluid deal for $49
@@jorgebrown8420 you totally could find one on Amazon
Where i can get the aftermarket intake?

Are the transmission sensors unique to the wagon?
Not sure about the transmission sensor, I would assume they’re the same as the sedan
Man, that location freaking sucks
@@magicwaffl3z yes it does…but not impossible. I’d do it again lol
@dylancool8638 do you think the filter is also accessible from the wheel well if I take the wheel off?
@@magicwaffl3z I don’t think that’ll do much sadly. It’s like right on the back of the motor, and too far in to be reached from the wheel well
@@magicwaffl3zjust did mine through the wheel well. Couldn't see anything but got it done with only taking off the tire and belly pan.
@@magicwaffl3z thats how I did it, still was a bit of work
