How to change differential fluid on an Acura MDX

When I bought my MDX, it was at 29K miles, so I figured I would start it off with fresh fluids all the way around. Here is the step by step process for changing the rear differential fluid on my 2015 Acura MDX. See my other videos for the Front Transfer Case fluid change and Transmission fluid change.

Is there also a front differential as well as a transfer case for the 2016 mdx? Great video thank you!

Can you use the same pump for case transfer fluid change? I am worried about mixing the two fluids up. Thanks!

Why does my MDX say a TF on the drain? You are referencing in your video as the differential.?

Thanks for this simple and easy video. I just bought a 2016 MDX with about 107k miles. I took it to the dealership to have the engine oil, differential oil, engine and cabin filter, etc changed. Cost me a lot of money. Every part used were cheap or probably cheaper than at Autozone. However, they charged labor for changing each of this items. Whats your recommendation or at how many miles should I have to change them in future.

I noticed in your Transfer Case Fluid change you used Mobil 1, for this you opted for the Honda/Acura product. Is there not a good aftermarket differential fluid product?

[jpthsd]

so differential fluid is only changed if it is AWD MDX? FWD MDX is not needed?

Thank you so much for listing the part numbers. It’s very helpful. and Where can I buy that?

How much fluid is required? Does the pump come with the fluid? Great video. Thanks for taking the time to do this!
