Genuine Newparts OEM AWD Type‑II differential oil — a two‑quart kit that matches Honda/Acura DPSF specifications for AWD differentials and final drives.

This kit contains two 1‑quart bottles of factory‑equivalent AWD Type‑II differential fluid formulated to meet the DPSF (Differential/Final Drive Service Fluid) requirements found in many Acura and Honda all‑wheel‑drive models. It’s supplied as a direct replacement fluid that fits specific automatic differentials and transfer cases where Honda/Acura specify AWD Type‑II, helping preserve gear life and maintain designed shift and traction behavior without altering factory tolerances.

Which vehicles and drivetrains is this oil compatible with?

This AWD Type‑II fluid is intended for Honda and Acura models that specify DPSF for their rear differential, transmission‑integrated final drive, or transfer case. Always verify your owner’s manual or service documentation to confirm the specification for your exact model year and drivetrain option.

  • Covers Acura MDX, RDX, TL, TLX models when DPSF/AWD Type‑II is specified.
  • Suitable for Honda CR‑V, Pilot, HR‑V, and Ridgeline AWD/4WD versions requiring Type‑II fluid.
  • Works where manufacturer calls for AWD/transfer case fluids compatible with DPSF performance.

How does this OEM‑equivalent fluid affect differential performance?

Using the correct AWD Type‑II fluid helps maintain the differential’s intended friction characteristics and prevents premature wear of gears and wet clutches. It supports consistent torque transfer in AWD systems and helps the differential operate close to factory calibration for noise, vibration, and shifting behavior.

  • Preserves designed clutch friction for smooth torque distribution.
  • Helps resist foaming and thermal breakdown under normal driving loads.
  • Matches OEM viscosity and additive balance for proper gear protection.

When should I replace the AWD Type‑II differential oil?

Replacement intervals vary by vehicle and driving conditions; consult your vehicle’s maintenance schedule for manufacturer recommendations. Inspecting fluid during service intervals and changing it when contaminated, dark, or after severe service will help prolong differential life and maintain performance.

  • Follow the maintenance interval in your owner’s manual for time and mileage guidance.
  • Change earlier if fluid appears dark, has metal particles, or after heavy towing/off‑road use.
  • Replace both quarts together to ensure consistent fluid properties throughout the differential.

Is this kit easy to use for DIY maintenance?

Yes — the two 1‑quart bottles make it straightforward to top up or fully refill differentials that require small volumes. Properly fitting drain/fill tools and a clean work environment are recommended to avoid contamination.

  • Two 1‑quart bottles match common differential fill volumes for many models.
  • Lightweight packaging simplifies pouring into tight fill ports during service.
  • OEM‑equivalent labeling helps ensure you’re using the correct fluid spec.

Who is this for: This Newparts Genuine OEM AWD Type‑II 2‑quart kit is aimed at owners, mechanics, and DIY enthusiasts who maintain Acura or Honda AWD/4WD models that require DPSF/AWD Type‑II fluid. It’s ideal for scheduled maintenance, pre‑inspection topping, or as the correct replacement fluid after diagnosis of differential or transfer case service needs. If you prioritize matching factory specifications to maintain drivetrain behavior and longevity, this kit provides the proper specification in convenient quart bottles.

FAQ

Q: Is this fluid the same as Honda/Acura factory differential oil?

A: Yes — it’s an OEM‑equivalent AWD Type‑II (DPSF) formula intended to match factory specifications for compatible models.

Q: Can I use one quart to top up my differential?

A: Often yes; the kit’s two 1‑quart bottles let you top up or fully refill depending on your vehicle’s specified volume.
