Acura 2012 TL - Manual (Page 556)

The transmission should be drained
and refilled with new fluid according
to the Maintenance Minder
(see
page ).
If you are not sure how to check and
add fluid, contact your dealer.
Reinstall the under cover, tighten the
mounting bolts securely, then put
the holding clips back in place. Make
sure the under cover is installed
under the edge of the front bumper. Pour the fluid into the filler hole
slowly and carefully so you do not
spill any. Clean up any spills
immediately; it could damage
components in the engine
compartment.
Let the fluid run out until it stops,
then reinstall the check bolt and the
filler bolt.
Make sure to put a new washer on
each bolt when reinstalling it.
If Acura MTF is not available, you
may use an SAE 0W-20 or 5W-20
viscosity motor oil with the API
Certification Seal that says ‘‘FOR
GASOLINE ENGINES’’ as a
temporary replacement. However,
motor oil does not contain the proper
additives, and continued use can
cause stiffer shifting. Replace as
soon as it is convenient.
