Changed VTM at 60,000 miles

[pilot4me]

I decided to change the VTM this weekend at 60,000 miles myself. Easy do it yourself maintenance. Used approx. ¾ of the gallon of Honda VTM fluid at $16.00. The washers are where the stealer-ship gets you at $3.00 (18mm) and $4.00 (20mm) each!!

Anyway, the fluid looked brand new and there were a few little metal shavings on the drain plug. Normal wear a tear.

Bought a small funnel and 6 foot clear tubing from Home Depot to refill the VTM. Cost was $3.00 and some change. My neighbor poured the fluid while I held the tube in the fill hole. It was a 10 minute job.

Wow, that much!!! What a rip-off! If I remember it, it cost me $ .60 (18mm) P/N:90471-PX4-000 and $1.60 (20mm) P/N:94109-20000 at a local Honda dealership.
