HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2023
- In this video, I describe how to drain and fill your transmission fluid in a 2016 Acura TLX.
This vehicle has 65K miles on it. It's recommended to change the fluid every 30K miles.
The torque spec for tightening the fill, drain and inspection plugs is 26 LB ft.
you will need 4.3 quarts of Type 2 ATF fluid from Honda/Acura.

This was a very informative video, thank you! It looks just annoying enough that I may have my independent shop take care of this but he's quoting me $350 for it. It's kind of annoying you need so many specific tools and workarounds to do this but I guess there's no way around this with how complex our cars are nowadays and I guess it's not in Acura's best financial interests to make their vehicles very easy to repair and maintain at home...
I can appreciate that sometimes it makes sense to let a shop do the work. I thought this was a pretty easy job overall. Getting my funnel down to the hole was the tricky part. If I had just attached a piece of hose pipe to a regular funnel, that would have worked easier.
Just paid 280 for my 2015 camry....the receipt said 150 just for hazard waste removal
@@San-jose-Ruussh Thanks for sharing your experience. 👍
i agree. You can't get a service manual. You have to go the website and purchase acces to the manual. They can't make it too hard because their techs must perform tasks on customer cars. I have '16 RLX and it feels like the manufacturer lwants you to bring the car in form all service. I LoVE my car but....
Good info going to do it myself local acura wants 400 rip off
Wow!, $400 is pretty high. You can do it no problem 👍
Service shop I got a quote fr4om, "$495 / 1.5hr labor...." for the tranny flush.
Have you had any issues, I have an ILX 2018 currently I initially wanted a TLX but couldn’t find at time of search. I’ve spotted. 16 TLX V6, but a bit concerned with zf9 transmission
I've only owned the car for a couple of months. It was well cared for by the original owner. There are no issues for me yet. They didn't have any issues either.
@kychristell1779That car doesn’t use a ZF 9AT…. It uses Acura’s infamous in-house 8DCT (one of the most bombproof automatic TC-based, dual clutch transmissions). The RLX is the only other Acura (Honda Legend in Japan and other countries) that utilizes Acura’s 8DCT. The older Acura ILX, got the infamous 7DCT after 2016, and is still trekking on all of their later ILX models today’
Hi Jack the spec says 4.3 qtz why did you use 22 ounces for your .3 QTZ. 3 QTZ is 10 ounces got little confuse.
Sorry that I confused you. A quart of fluid is 32 oz. I only needed 10 oz from that quart, so taking 10 oz off the top of the quart left me with 22 oz. That is why I marked the 22oz level. It was so I knew I had poured 10 oz out.👍
Thanks for the clarification and for your good video tips.
Does it really require a transmission flush or just drain and add the new one
Just drain and add new fluid.
I have a 2018 Acura Mdx, how often should i change the transmission fluid?
The Acura TLX owners' manual says it should be changed every 30,000 - 50,000 miles, depending on how severe your use is.
Dude
Just use a plastic tube to load the transmission.
@douglaswilliams1792 You are correct, I should have just gotten a hose to connect to my funnel. I actually tried to do that, but I didn't have the right type of hose that would fit and stay attached to my funnel. You are right, though. I made this a little harder on myself than needed. Although, I still needed room to remove and install the fill plug.
