honda and acura fluids...

dirk33 · 11-21-2012, 08:06 AM

are the same, right?
Specifically coolant. I noticed this morning that I am low on coolant and want to top it off.
There is an Acura dealership right by my office.
Pretty sure they are so maybe a stupid question, just want to make sure.
Thanks

One in the same. In the future, might check out Curry Acura parts, online. They have great discounts on fluids and free shipping.

Yup! That's it. It is easier if you use the part number of the fluids. I've done VTM4 and DW1 so far. I never saved the p/n durnit!

I tried vtm-4 fluid but it doesn't generate any hits. I don't know the p/n either.

Wish it was more user-friendly. But many of the other sites aren't much better.

I'm not sure I've ever found the parts site for H&A. Well, I think I found it, but you can't browse for parts on it.

We should really have a sticky of OEM fluids/filters etc for easy access for the board.

Good idea! I just verified the 5 parts I posted above, they are all valid, and great prices on the Speedlever's 'trademotion' website.

Is the DW-1 for the Transmission and the VTM-4 for the Diff? Just want to make sure I get that correct.
