How many of you have done a transmission fluid change? And if so, did you do it the normal way (below) or from up top?
It seems fairly easy to do the top method with an extended funnel. I do not drive the car much, so it has taken years to reach the mileage to do it. However, others here have much later models of the MDX. They have reached 100,000 and are already getting timing belts, so I am pretty sure transmission fluid changes have been done a few times along the way to 100,000.
I've seen on instagram an acura tech who is changing out peoples' fluids and they had really dark fluid. Mine was not bad and was consistent with a similar color to being used. ( A darker amber similar to translucent brown/red, but not black)
What mileage are you changing yours?
And if so, Did you notice smoother shifting directly after? I seem to have noticed it was similar to when it was new. Possibly placebo, but i dunno.
