No. It's the ONLY option regardless of what marketing materials might suggest.

 

25430-PLR-003 is the right part number for the filter right? The dealer didn't have a part number handy (and internet was crappy).

 

Per this, it appears to be the case:

Thanks. I wonder if they just searched transmission or something.

 

I pulled the undertray off, did the oil, went to do CVT fluid and realized I can't find my tranny funnel (and don't have time to go grab one).

Maintenance reminder is at 5%. Is there any problem with resetting it now and replacing tranny fluid/filter next week? I assume it's just a reminder rather than changing anything.

 

I never worried about the maintenance minder until it was past 0% and in the negative hundreds.

 

It's a high mileage car, so I'm trying to maintain it reasonably. If it actually did something other than count down I wouldn't reset it now.

Given that I don't know the maintenance history I guess I should also do the service that you recommend in your signature (plugs, EGR port, 12V reset but I'm having trouble finding the radio serial, and pick up a grid charger to cycle the battery - I get frequent recals so that should help).

 

If it's not hand-written in the owner's manual or elsewhere, you likely just need to go to the dealer with proof of ownership.

 

There are various places online that refer to getting the serial number of the radio by pressing 1 and 6 simultaneously, turning ignition to accessory mode, and holding it for a while... that doesn't seem to work for me. Then, you can send it to Honda and they'll send you the code.

I'll check the owner's manual, it isn't in the car right now. On my dad's S2000 there was a little printed sheet with it on it but I don't know if that was normal.

Where you refer to idling to charge it, you mean in L? Mine doesn't tend to charge at idle unless I'm in L or very low.

 

Mine was hand written on a label stuck to the owners manual. Never heard about the 1&6 trick.

Not sure what you're referring to, but it will only idle charge for certain after a 12V reset (disconnect for 60 seconds and reconnect). I just leave it in P.

This makes the battery forget its SoC, so it force charges the battery at 4-5A to see how it responds, so it can calculate the SoC. Doing this 3X times consecutively can simulate a short grid charge or get a coded battery high enough to get it through emissions.

If you have the time, a 12V reset every 30 minutes followed by an idle charge can be somewhat effective in getting some function back into the pack. Tedious though.

Grid charge/discharge (conservative) can do a battery a lot of good.
