The times and fluids are a changing…
When I got my Honda Ridgeline, I learned that the make was very particular regarding all fluids…from power steering to anti freeze. So I always followed that cardinal rule. After driving it several years, a service 13 b wrench code came up recommending an automatic transmission fluid service. With 225,000 miles I was told by many mechanical enthusiasts and owners that it was too late to change the fluids for the tranny, diff and transfer case. That the window had closed and I was asking for trouble. I ignored them and changed front and rear differential, transfer case and transmission fluids with Honda proprietary. Not only does the car run better it became quiet and boosted a 20% gain in fuel economy. Fear of disaster can impede the necessary maintenance of any auto so park that and move forward.
