#2717 of 2722 Radiator Fluid by mtairyordge Mar 11, 2009 (8:39 am)
I need to replace/add to the radiator fluid for my RDX. the manual says to use HONDA fluids of course, but goes on to say that a high quality non-silicate fluid designed for aluminum engines should be used.   Can anyone tell me what OTC radiotir fluid that is?   Thanks in advance.
#2718 of 2722 how many miles do your tries last? by Firebird_EOU Apr 16, 2009 (3:46 pm)
30k, 40k, 50k? your driving style? Are OEM tires good or any other better replacement tires after the first set is worn out?

Replying to: wwest (Jun 19, 2008 8:39 am) I'm got to play around the the SH-AWD some more this weekend and I was downshifting, instead of braking, while going into flat, downhill, and uphill turns. You have to press on the gas through the turns if you want the SH-AWD to kick in.   The road conditions were very good (smooth new asphalt) and it didn't seem dangerous in the RDX. The engine braking slowed the vehicle and when I turned and stepped on the accelerator, the revs jumped/turbo kicked-in, and the RDX carved around the turn. I only tired braking into the turns a few times. It seemed like downshifting was a better for getting the revs up fast when accelerating and kicking in the SH-AWD around the corner.   I only overcooked one turn because I wasn't expecting it to be an S and the rear has drifted slightly into the opposite lane. I'm not sure if the VSC kicked in at the point. Fortunately, the roads were relatively empty. I took it down a notch after that. Replies to this message: wwest (Apr 28, 2009 8:13 am)
#2720 of 2722 Odd Smell from the Engine by aardx Apr 27, 2009 (3:58 pm)
Hello all,   I just bought a 2007 RDX - and after driving it for the last two weeks I have started to notice that there is odd smell coming from the engine (outside the car) and its not exactly a burning smell but smells like over heated metal. The smell stays for only 10-20 seconds than disappears. I am getting no warning messages from the car that it is overheating but I am wondering if any of you have come across this? Perhaps I am over analyzing this??

Replying to: mark4490 (Apr 26, 2009 10:23 am) Handling of a FWD or F/awd vehicle will be perfectly beniegn, or even better, on a highly tractive surface.
#2722 of 2722 Extra copies of key??? by mfeirman Sep 25, 2009 (12:58 pm)
I own a 2008 RDX and want to make copies of the key, and possibly get an extra remote key chain. Any ideas where I can get this done?   Thanks, Mark
