3x3 is easy DIY? I guess I am ok with tools but my biggest fear is going under 4 tons X

 

[Andyoye5]

Any special tool I need to drain/put in the fluid? So I need 9 quarts in total for 3x

Plus how about rear differential fluid flush? Easy as well if you have ramps?
Any suggestions/tips are highly appreciated.

thanks much for the link to your post. The external filter you mentioned, should it be changed at 35k ? Have you done it?

 

[Andyoye5]

Thank you

I just drained and fill the ATF. Next step would be rear wheels transfer case ( is this same as differential?) so when I am done with transfer case there are no more fluids to be drained/filled left...correct?

 

[Andyoye5]

Do I have to drain transfer case 3 times as well when I drain ATF 3 times?
Any info on how to drain differential?
Thanks much

 

[Andyoye5]

So both transfer case and differential drain plugs would be same Square shaped as tranny plug?

Thanks a lot

Thanks Warthog for the advice.
Does anyone knows how much fluid differential will take as I went to Acura dealership and they gave me 3quarts

 

[Andyoye5]

I am still under warranty for 14 (39,910 miles so I just take my car to Acura and they will apply these TSB for free?

 

[Andyoye5]

I am in northern VA and $60 is a really good price

 

[Andyoye5]

Just drained transfer case ( X was flat to ground). I just fill in 1/2 qt and it started to come out from fill-in plug. This amount sounds right?

 

[Andyoye5]

No as I called Acura and they said no TSB is required for your VIN so I didnt take it to dealership. I have already drain/fill ATF at 40k along with transfer case and differential so I think I may be good for another 40k with ATF ...correct?

 

[Andyoye5]

At 40k, my ATF was the dirttest than differential and Gear oil was cleaniest among them. So would it be ok if I drain all three at 80k?

Thanks much
