i have to wait another 23k mi till i swap anything out....warranty.

 

does tranny fluid play into the powertrain warrantee? If so, I have to wait also ..... but I'll probably do it anyway because RP is a better fluid. If the physical characteristics are the same or better, I think Moss-Magnusen covers this.

 

i dont know, but i dont care to try it. i need to take it to the dealer here in flag. cold weather seems to exacerbate the issue, and using the dealer in phx - where i bought it, where its always 30 degrees warmer, isnt a real good thing.

 

The GM fluid I spoke of earlier needs to say "Friction Modified" on the container if anyone decides to use it.

 

I guess I will wait until my warranty expires as well before trying the GM Syncromesh transmission fluid.

I bought the Honda extended warranty (after they lowered it to $500). So only 6 1/2 years or 112,000 miles to wait!!!

When I mentioned it at the dealership during my 2nd maintenance they said it just needs to be broken in. But that sounds a little lame.

 

I would have looked them in the eye and told them they were full of POOP.

 

as long as the fluid rating meets or exceeds the OEM fluid, it can not void the warantee. I have an email about this directly from the RP guys.

 

is that the same email with the '2 girls 1 cup' link you were telling me about?

 

dude, don't even mention that!!!!! You just made me nauseous!!!! And yes, the email from RP that I sent you.

 

i heard there was a follow up to that. a fellow bowler told me about it, but couldnt remember the name.
