Changing transmission fluid ?
So I've had my Rl for a little over a year and been wanting to do a transmission fluid flush. I had the car up on ramps and was looking for the plug to drain the fluid. I was looking towards the passenger side like I had read on a post from here, and theres a bolt that is hollow in the middle where you would put a 3/8 drive. but right next to this bolt is a label that days Diff fluid. So just wondering if I'm missing something here or is this this the right drain plug?

The 3/8 drive one is the tranny drain. The diff plug is the differential. It takes 80/90 gear oil. Two entirely different services.

Ok I understand that. It was just a little confusing because right next to the 3/8 drive one it says diff fluid, so just wanted to make sure I had that straightened out before I change the fluid this week.

I forgot which bolt, but I did changed out the trans fluid a few months ago. I'll double check with the manual for you. My car never have the differential fluid change, would it be a good idea to change it now? The car has 196k. Thx.

If changing trans fluid, double change it. I have G1 which takes 3 1/2 qts. Drive it a little after first change than change. This was instruction from service dept at Acura Dealer in \
Bedford, Oh. I have 272,000 and have never had tranny problem. |

I'm not sure how you're seeing the differential drain plug where the transmission should be...
What year is your RL |
