After owning my 02 TL since new.... much to my surprise, I just recently discovered there is a spin-on trans filter that is fairly easily accessible and serviceable
A quick delivery from Amazon prime ..and ready to go.
I have no recollection of this filter being service by the dealer, as I handle all general maintenance, no one else has stuck their fingers under the hood
The only opportunity to have this filter changed, is when Acura/Honda did the major recall on their trans in 2005.?? [I'd have to check my logs]
I was expecting to see a rather gunky, sludge filled filter, reason being , I did a D&F at the same time, and the plug magnet was fairly covered in sludge [ sorry -no pic ]
I do a yearly 1x D&F
Surprisingly to me... it wasnt... the large particle i attribute to me cutting the filter open, the paper look saturated in filtrate, but i expected more..
For your perusal...
Cheers
