Anyone familiar with the transmission filter on an '08 CX-7?
I have changed the transmission fluid in my CX-7 a few times by draining a few quarts and adding it back in. This isn't listed in maintenance schedules, but it is easy and I basically followed the recommendation/procedure from the Honda Pilot forum that I also follow. I love how my Mazda shifts, and it has never had an issue. I use Valvoline Maxlife in my Pilot, it is full synthetic and has good reviews from LOTS of Pilot owners, and it fits the spec of the Mazda, so I used half VML with MobilJWS3309 last time, and I'm happy with the result. Usually a generic-use fluid doesn't seem like the best option, but VML works great in lots of applications and it's what I put in my PS reservoir when I repaired the leak I had. I buy a lot of it since I drain/fill two cars every 30,000 miles, roughly.
Anyway, I read somewhere recently there is a serviceable transmission fluid filter on the CX-7. I looked up the part and it looks like it is integrated into the drain pan, or next to it maybe?
Is anyone familiar with it and/or servicing it?
