Just found your channel. I also have a 2012 TSX SportWagon. Bone stock. Have always had the dealer do the trans fluid. They never did the filter in 130k miles. Same for my 2013 RDX with 183k miles. If I'm correct, that's the filter for the fluid return from the trans cooler, same as the RDX except for the location. I changed the trans solenoid for the 3rd gear clutch on the RDX as it was supposed to be a cure for a sometimes wonky 2-3 upshift on the 6-speed auto. Didn't do anything and was a waste of $53. I figured out where and when it acts up and just drive it accordingly. As for my SportWagon, best car i ever owned. Bought it when it was 3 years old from the dealer. Only thing that sucks is the black paint is shot (particularly on the front fascia and hood). Was looking for the euro-spec taillights but they are a fortune and hard to come by.
I have a V6 verison of this car 2010 and I have been told that there is no filter that needs to be changed on that particular model. They said it had a screen.
Interesting that they changed the filter location within the CU2 model years. Even knowing where it is now, it doesn't make the swap any easier, but I'm giving it a shot. Thanks!
@@chrisb15679 that’s odd…I don’t remember seeing 2.6qts in mine. I ran 3.5qts, like the people on the fb groups say, and I’ve checked the ATF a few times since this video and it’s still at the same level, which is in the optimal range
