he used the wrong differential oil . this will kill his SHAWD. there is no honda version of this oil

 

Google the owners manual for a 2017 honda pilot it says Honda DPSF-II on page 657
on a 2017 acura it says Acura DPSF-II page 561

You can also go to an acura and honda geniune parts website and see the part numbers of the rear end are the same. I won't be losing any sleep over an oil quart having an A on the part numbers.

 

Thanks for sharing . . . but I wouldn't use the same fluids you're using in the video.
I don't know what your 2017 MDX spec calls for, but for my 2015 MDX SH-AWD, I use Acura/Honda HGO-1 for T-case, DPSF for diff.

 

I use Amsoil in all my gear boxes for the last 15 years. In this case T-case. Except for import rear ends that require special friction modifiers like the sh-awd. Amsoil is king of premium oils especially in hypoid gear applications. Amsoil is a group 4 synthetics or better. Good luck getting that in an oem bottle. Most so called synthetics are group 3. A hypoid gear is a hypoid gear set no matter who designed or made it.

 

Here is the application chart from the manufacturer
