Someone on the MDX forum sent samples of each to Blackstone labs. The results were identical. They are exactly the same thing. They matched viscosity, flashpoint, and additives.

Went to the Honda dealer to get DPII and left with the Acura DPSF. This helped clear things up for me. Thanks!

[@suenommi9906]

Thanks for the info. I went to the Honda dealer yesterday to get dual pump fluid for my Element. When I got home noticed they gave me Acura dpsf. I did some research and found out they are the same. Would have been nice if the parts guy would have told me. I tried calling but was on hold forever and gave up. Thanks again for verifying.

[@asrate670]

It cleared my doubts actually. Thanks

Happy Holidays Dave! Will watch video when I get time!!!

[@BigDog50001]

Thanks Mike! Same to you!

[@diannaloveshenry]

TY!! Very helpful. Trying to order and ran across a $125 hazmat fee when ordering on line! Read the small print!!

[@wyattoneable]

Mike beat me here! Have a great holiday season Dave. It's been a pleasure watching your videos over the years. Always informative and interesting.

[@BigDog50001]

Thanks Wyatt! Happy Holidays to you and your family too!

[@charlessamonte9273]

thank you so much for clearing this

[@paulabernstein2469]

Thank you!!! You were a real help 🙂

[@jelie2k]

Thank you for info. I have a 2016 CRV AWD as well. Where do you get all that service info that you had on the laptop? Is that a site?

[@Ihaveasystem]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks very much!

When I had to change the rear diff fluid for the first time on our 2001 CRV I was confused by the name of the fluid I kept wondering why you'd need pump fluid for a rear end. So it can be confusing. Good video Dave! Happy holidays!

[@BigDog50001]

Happy Holidays!

[@NisotAutoMech]

What exactly are you confused about? How many kilometers?

[@slothypunk]

@@NisotAutoMech dual pump fluid, that is the wording that the OP confused about, the word pump goes into the rear differential

[@HotRod-wv4vm]

Thanks for the tip and Merry Christmas to you 😅 and yours

[@BigDog50001]

Thanks, Merry Christmas!

[@ljbrandt500]

BIG DOG - I'm still skeptical that these two fluids are EXACTLY the same. A great follow up video would be to pour some of each into separate clear containers and compare color and smell. I've heard they are mostly interchangeable and compatible, but the Acura DPSF is engineered more specifically for the SH-AWD systems.

[@slothypunk]

Then don't put in your vehicle if you are skeptical, It is that easy! As for me and probably the rest, I put it in since it is recommended by Honda service dept in my local area and it carry me 100k and up, so you do you!

[@papajo7316]

@@slothypunk They are the same spec other then the bottle. A good friend of mine works in the Honda Parts Dept and their internal notes call out that these two fluids are one in the same. Thanks for putting this together and helping the do it yourselfers on this point.

[@slothypunk]

@@papajo7316 thanks for follow up. That one is easy. How about this, atf dw1 and hevf type 1 fluid, are they the same? The last year Honda hybrid seems to call for atf, but this year suddenly changed to hevf

Hi can I use Amsoil diff oil for my 2013 Honda Pilot rear diff?

The SH-AWD rear differential is a unique piece of machinery. Does anyone here still run full synthetic ATF in their Honda SH-AWD rear differential?? I think this mysterious Dual Pump Fluid is sort of like a money grab for Honda

[@antonioramirez4671]

You can order them on Amazon they have some available cheaper than dealership

[@BigDog50001]

👍

[@TheRealkciRsnurB]

Is there an alternate oil from another supplier (Mobil, Valvoline, AmsOil, etc) that is compatible with the Honda spec? Thx!

[@vqdriver]

I’m currently wondering if we can run a high quality thicker CST ATF in the rear diff as they once called for ATF, then the DPSF and then the older differentials should be filled with the new stuff. So…. Sounds like a money grab this mysterious DPSF… OEM fluids are typically NOT the highest level of fluid available Vs aftermarket. Just my 0.02. But then every single mechanic says use only oem because in the past that was the culture…

[@formerengineer5784]

Part 1: one digit is different, so they’re different. Part 2: one digit is different, but they’re the same. Part 3 (missing): this evidence shows they’re the same.
