While I was waiting for my friends Accord to be bled, I picked up a case of DW-1 for $79.22 OTD and 2 gallons of Type 2 Coolant for $36.27 OTD. Needless to say, I was happy.
And funny story, in talking to the shop foreman about the V6 problems, I mentioned I had changed the external filter on the ATF twice. He DIDN'T believe me that there was one. Needless to say I didn't remove the air intake to show him I simply bet him that if I was wrong, I'd buy his lunch. If he was wrong, he had to give me a filter for free. I got the filter for free. Dumb shop foreman. Shame on you. He was embarrassed. His response was "we never change those" so he said he never knew they existed. If I remember correctly, the filters were installed as part of the oil jet kit recall.
Now I am off to do my first of three drains. Fluid is still quite clean, but it's been 30k miles, and 3 years, so I'd say she's due.
