How much do I bother with it...?
« on: February 04, 2012, 11:51:08 pm »
96k on the TSX now. Computer wants a transmission fluid change. Probably overdue.

Do I have to buy Honda ATF or can I get away with something else? Keeping it another year...but then again my brother might take it off my hands so I wouldn't necessarily want the 1 year blowup special.

Its funny, the older a car gets and once you know its on the way out, you stop caring so much.
Everything in life is relative.

You need the Honda AFT.

Use Honda ATF. You're not gonna save much if you don't.

My TSX is at around 154k and I have changed it twice.

Use Honda ATF.

Keep it in good shape for your brother.

Start shopping for a new car.  ;D

Keep us updated on the search.   ;D

p.s. Our TSX is going too in less than a year. A good friend is planning to take it off our hands. She was hand detailed yesterday and looks terrific.  8)

Hahaha. Our friend in this case is a guy, although I do have a girlfriend who loves it too. He asked for it first though. She on the other hand happens to be quite beautiful too, yes.
