Default If I havent used VTM, fluid change question...

I have yet to use the VTM feature, except to try it out 1 time...

My question is this: Should I turn it on a few times a moth to keep it working up to speed??

also, I I am not using it, should I, or do I need to do the necessary fluid changes as agressively as honda recommends?


thanks!

The VTM-4 system is automatic.
You are using it even without engaging the switch.

The switch is only to lock it on for certain very poor traction situations.

Yes you should follow the recommended schedule.

as N_Jay said, its automatic and basically always working. you dont need to turn on the VTM-4 lock once in a while. you shouldn't engage VTM-4 lock on pavement either, as you can damage the system.
