I need some help figuring out whether or not my Acura dealership serviced my transmission/transfer case and rear differential like I asked them to do last year.
I took my 2015 Acura MDX Advance sh-awd in today to get the battery replaced under warranty. While there they told me I needed to do the Transfer case fluid service and rear differential service on the vehicle because of the mileage and color of the fluid . Odd I thought because I had that service performed last year at 24,000 miles as I was beginning to tow my boat more and I had just added the OEM transmission cooler. I now have 34480 miles on the MDX.
They looked it up and sure enough I had the B3 Service performed which includes: Automatic Transmission service and Transfer Fluid.
4 ATF DW-1 Fluid
1 drain washer 18mm
1Drain washer 24mm
1 Trans conditioner
2 Diff Fluiid
2 Drain washer 20mm
Was charged $169.99
They insisted that this DID NOT include the rear differential. The invoice does not specify that the Rear diff was done but I seem to remember reading posts on this forum that the front differential/transfer case and transmission are an integral unit and when you do the transmission service you have serviced the transfer case? I could be wrong about that and I don't mind paying for needed service I requested but I don't want to pay for something twice.
From the list of materials and price ($169.66) did they charge me for the rear differential or not.
Thanks
