I've been following the thread called Transmission Fluid change (poll). In that thread there are a couple recommendations. Mainly dealer service with Acura fluids or Amsoil. It seems most recommendations for the transmission and transfer case seem to be Amsoil.

My local shop gave me a quote for BG transmission fluid and transfer case gear oil. What are your thoughts about BG fluids?

(from the quote)
for the transmission
BG ATF
BG Quick Clean
BG ATC Plus

for the transfer case
BG Gear Oil
BG MGC

I know BG has a good reputation for BG 44K and I know a lot of VW techs recommend adding BG MOA to help reduce oil consumption.

Thanks for your thoughts

My MDX has the CPO extended warranty and I have no problem sticking to the OEM fluids. I don't think the price was that much different between the dealer and my local shop. Does anyone know how the dealer changes the transmission fluid? From what I'm reading it seems like filling from the top is optional. Perhaps, I'm confused.
