Time To Change My Tranny Fuild And Antifreeze...

I went to my Honda dealership and picked up 3 quarts of Honda ATF, cost like 45 bucks for both the fluid and the service to have my car flushed and replaced had it done at 42K mi

Silver02EX is an unknown quantity at this point
I asked for a quote from the dealer and they said $100 for all the fluid and labor for the tranny and coolant.

Motul Motylgear 10w40, you won't be disappointed. A little heavier than the oem stuff but if you have any grinds this stuff will make a difference. Give it a try! Designed for japanese transmissions!!! If you need some pm me and I can point you in the right direction.

There are other coolants on the market that would work just fine. But the way i see it, why not just use honda's since it doesn't have to be changed often.

100 for both transmission and coolant is very good deal...

fluid alone is way over $50
