I have changed fluids twice now and it wasn't hard at all to get that 17mm fill plug off.
I just recently switched to the new Honda fluid since I have been getting grinding in 2nd gear with the Amsoil. So far so good. The new Honda fluid works just fine and no grinding in second gear at high rpm shifts.

the new honda stuff is not that good either. dont get me wrong its better than the original stuff and royal purple. i first used royal purple then the new honda stuff. i just got amsoil and have yet to put it in. with everyone's sucess with amsoil i am going to try it. hopefully it works.
