ACURA TRANSMISSION ?

I Spoke to Soon , Site just Raised Price from $10.99 to $21.99 for same Filters . Current Stock Seller's Bought 9 Months ago , by Box of 48~96 in Box - ( Which Probably still in Stock )

What's Actual Reasons for Any Forums ?
Not to just Show Your Stuff or Skills ? BUT
To Gain Truth , to see New & Better ways for Doing , Fixing , Repairing , Mods Correctly as a Collective !


Everyone Please Call Acura Parts OEM Dealers & ask E-bay Seller ask Everyone & Tech's , Please Speak Up !

QUESTION IS : Did Honda & Acura - Spec. 10X Transmission Differently or Valve Body Differently - As - Acura 10X Trans calls for ATF Type 2.0

But Bottle Does NOT Say - ( Shake Well ) ? ~ This is ODD ./.

As a Collective of Truth = DIY & Vendor Parts Investigative & Correct Repair & Maintenance is of Up most Importance . .

ALERT - SELLER on E-BAY IS AN A$$ HOLE ~ Bought 2.0 ATF from Seller 12 Days ago ./.

{ PARTSCONTAINER } selling ATF 2.0

For ACURA 2.0 ATF Trans Fluid 10 Days ago for 5qts for $65 = Never Delivered !

Never Shipped !

Even Paid Taxes etc.

Still Has Money - now have to call : E-Bay , Card Banks etc - Fill Complaint etc.

All Because Prices have all Gone up in Last 7 Days . .



I Order Both ATF's - Doing a Comparison & Sending out to Blackstone for Analysis ( All Screwed Up Now )

OK , so According to 34 Post that Old Rent-A-Man say that Fluids are Exactly Same , an Few E-Bay Sites - We Better Agree to those Facts !

Well Not 1 Honda Tech would Confirm that , and 1 Honda Dealer said they were using ATF 3.1 for the 9 Speed as they were all Out . Brahhaaaa LOL


Now Back to Quality Assurance & Inspection Requirements & Black stone Testing ( I'll Need a Few More Actual Facts ) from Far Superior Sources !

Have Not Found 1 fact that States Transmission are same ( Shared Exactly as Manufactured ) it makes some sense to do that , But Automotive Designers & Engineers always to some Tweaking or just Plain Screwing with Items ..It seems !

Have Not been able to Find Clear Cut Photographic Evidence or Transmission Comparisons . .

With 400Tq Limit Implied by Tuners : It would seem the SUV Version would be Designed with Different ~ Valve Body ~ Stronger Requirements ./.

Auto to be Offered in Newer Civic - putting out more Out Put 2023 may have Different Clutch Linings ..

( Mostly it just Looks to be Thinner ATF with Additive ~ Friction Modifiers ~ )


This Still does NOT Lead to "FACTS " vs few Web Sites . . ( Oh God Internet said It )

Thanks to All for Their Input - Always Open Door - More Better ./.

OK just got Done doing ATF @ 51K - Video's Others Posted Help , as I was sitting on Fence whether to Use Boat Pump ( Which Pulls Oil Out )
Or do Drain as I Know ATF was going to Fly Out .

I don't have Professional ATF Pan or Deep Professional ATF Funnel for that Pro ATF Pan .. which also have a Long Notch in a Cover ( Also Keeps It from Splashing )

I Decided to Only Open the ATF Fluid Level Checker ( Smaller Area of Air Allowed In ) - this - Slow Gush Down ./.
I Also took Large Funnel I use for Fuel that has a Filter Screen in Bottom , I Stuff Outlet with pc. of Blue Work Towel - Turn Entire Thing Side ways Pointed Big Opening
At Drain Plug - Resting on Top of STD Oil Pan . .

This set up Worked Very Well , so much so I didn't even really need the sideways Funnel ( But it did Catch 100% Spatters )

A Few Interesting Observations :
1. ATF SMELL - Old ATF didn't Smell Pissy or Burnt , but Smelled Like Toast ( Like Oil Toasted )
2. ATF NEW Smells so Very Clean ! // Like it has a Fresh Detergent Package in It also // Not Like Brake Cleaner , but Like " Oil Based " House Hold Cleaner ./.
3. Magnet Plug does Great Job - Got 3 Half Finger Lengths of Blackish Grime Off & approx 7~10 very small Metal Particles . .
4. I Used 4 Drops Thread Locker on Install of said Magnet Drain Plug ./.
5. Hose Dia 5/8" Clear Vinyl is Actually .615/.620 OD just over 1/2" ID - Fit Nicely on My ATF Funnel I had Kicking around & Used 28" Length on End of 7" Funnel = Plenty .
6. Checked Level @ 40K was Good - Interestingly - I did NOT Get 4.5 qts Out ( I Attribute this to Changing Later @ 51K ) . . Draining for 9 Min. Hot !
7. I Add New ATF Amount of 4Qts & 475ML ( Qts Very some each 1 qt had 910 ML & another had 890ML ) Interesting ! Summary ( I added back 1 OZ more then 4.5 Qts )
8. Cleaning Package Agents probably Evaporate Over Time .
9. Friction Additive ( What I would call Impact Agents ) as ( Look like small Fragments of Teflon )
10. Impact Agents - get Contaminated with Very Fine Metal over Time - like - Brake Dust this is what ~ Collects on Magnet ~
11. Waiting to Long ~ Your 10X Transmission will be Lower on Fluid & Magnet would be Completely Cover & ( Unable to Collect ) said Particles - leading to Fast Wear ./.

12. I'M ADDING 2 PICTURES COMPARING OLD vs NEW ATF - I Purposely Allowed New ATF Pic Larger Hoping U see Impact Agents ./.

Caught Sun - just Right
