lurker turned member. i just hit 107k on a 08. had a few questions.
bought it used and i dont think the tranny,vt or transfer have ever been changed. should i change or leave alone? 1 or all 3?
i know to go to dw if i do the flush drain of the trans.
has anyone done the trans with that many miles on stock fluid?
is the gear oil LS or just syn 75w-90?
im having the timing belt done with new radiator(if they will let me bring my own rad)along with tensioner,water pump.. no spare vehicle,dont want to have to rush that job.
i am planning on keeping it,best vehicle i have had yet. thank you in advance.:act030:

If you don't know the history on the fluids I'd do all 3 they are fairly simple. With the Rad being completed with the timing belt I'd also bring 2 gal of type-2 coolant, and ask that the remainder be left for you to top up the overflow after the belt/radiator change.

Yes the gear oil is fine with syn 75w-90, but the rear diff & trans are very honda specific fluid, and available from several online honda sources and sometimes on Amazon

Good Luck

thank you. i was mainly worried about it never being done to the tranny.
also wasnt sure about limited slip gear oil or just syn 75w-90.

I like the syn version in anything that is part of the drivetrain as long as it meets factory requirements, transfer box included.
