So I bought a 2005 Acura RL, 118k and can't find any recent maintenance records indicating service to the transmission nor differentials. That said, I'm going to do all fluids and start with a clean maintenance record.
I am having trouble understanding what the drive train actually consists of.
If this were like other cars, I would assume there is a rear diff that uses gear oil, a front diff that uses gear oil and a transmission that uses of course transmission fluid.
BUT I THINK, it actually consists of a rear diff that actually uses 4 quarts DPSF fluid. A transmission that uses 4 quarts ATF-Z1 fluid(16quarts for a flush) and a transfer case that uses .5 quarts 80-90. Am I missing another component? Sorry, the drivetrain and the types of fluids don't add up to your typical drive trains lol.
My first Acura and I'm loving it!
