SERVICE INFORMATION
This month, each Acura dealership was sent a pair of hand-operated fluid pumps. In case you're wondering why. . . they're required special tools designed to help prevent fluid contamination. The pump with the large cap fits a gallon jug of Acura Genuine VTM-4 Diffferential Fluid; the pump with the small cap fits a quart bottle of Acura Genuine Dual Pump Fluid or Manual Transmission Fluid.
Each pump is made of 3/8-inch, heavy-duty rubber tubing. The angled metal filler pipe fits nicely into the filler hole, and the large squeeze bulb draws enough fluid to make filling a snap. The filler pipe has a tethered plastic cap to prevent drips when you're done, and an attached metal tag with the P/N on one side and the words ONLY USE WITH on the other side so you can write in the name of the fluid that the pump is to be used for. There's even a nifty metal hanger for suspending the VTM-4 fluid jug under the vehicle.
Here's what one of these fluid pumps looks like in action.
