Hello there. I have 11K now on my Passport and love the car. Drives excellent with no issues whatsoever.
Question;
I see these videos on youtube and other sites where they recommend to change the Transfer Case Fluid at 15K intervals. I also saw a video for a RIdegline that the first differential oil should be changed at 7K miles? Really? That soon? and 15K after that.
I got all the oils, crush washers and tools needed for this job but wanted to hear from others on this matter.
I do not follow the rule of the oil life on the settings of the car. I do change the engine oil and its filter at 50% of its life. The oil is quite dark and I'm not sure how it can resist another 50%. When it reaches 5%, then I go to dealer to get the free oil change (while this deal lasts) and reset the stupid "Oil Life" Yes, the car has 11K and has had 3 engine oil changes so far. I use Castrol 0w-20 and original Honda OEM oil filters. Anyway, let's get back to original question.
When is the right mileage for Transfer Case fluid change? The car does not tow or driven under hard driving conditions. If the Transfer Case Fluid need to change at 15K does the differential fluid need to be changed too?
Thanks,
