Newparts OEM Differential Oil AWD Type-II DPSF, 3-Quart Pack (3x1 qt) for Acura & Honda AWD Differentials

Newparts Genuine OEM AWD Type-II Differential Oil (DPSF) is a three-quart pack of factory-specified fluid formulated for Acura and Honda AWD/4WD differentials.

This three-count kit contains three 1-quart bottles of OEM differential oil labeled AWD Type-II DPSF, intended to meet the viscosity and additive profile required by specific Acura and Honda models. Using the correct differential fluid helps maintain gear and clutch performance in center and rear differentials designed for all-wheel-drive systems. The Newparts SKU replicates factory specifications so technicians and do-it-yourselfers can replace or top off fluid with confidence when servicing MDX, RDX, TL, TLX, CR-V, Pilot, HR-V, or Ridgeline vehicles that call for this grade.

Which models and drivetrains need AWD Type-II DPSF?

This fluid is specified for certain Acura and Honda vehicles equipped with all-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive center differential units that require a DPSF (Dual Pump/Slip Fluid) or similar Type-II formulation. Check your owner’s manual or service guide to confirm compatibility before ordering.

• Common compatible models: Acura MDX, RDX, TL, TLX and Honda CR-V, Pilot, HR-V, Ridgeline (confirm year and AWD option).
• Intended for use in center or rear differential systems that list AWD Type-II / DPSF.
• Sold as three 1-quart bottles to match typical service volume requirements.

How do I use these three 1-quart bottles when servicing my vehicle?

Each bottle contains one quart of OEM-grade differential fluid; the tripack lets you replenish the full service quantity without mixing different fluids. Follow manufacturer torque and fill-level procedures while draining and refilling to avoid overfilling or contamination. Dispose of used fluid responsibly at an authorized recycling center.

• Use all three bottles if the service calls for approximately three quarts of fluid.
• Replace drain and fill plugs and crush washers as recommended by the vehicle service manual.
• Warm the differential to operating temperature for accurate fill levels, if directed by the manual.

What are the performance characteristics and why choose OEM DPSF?

OEM DPSF (Type-II) is formulated with a balance of friction modifiers and anti-wear additives to support clutch pack engagement, torque transfer, and gear protection in multi-plate differentials. Choosing a factory-grade fluid reduces the risk of incompatible additives that may alter shifting feel or accelerate component wear. It’s written for systems that depend on specific coefficient-of-friction properties.

• Engineered to preserve clutch engagement and minimize shudder in AWD coupling units.
• Contains anti-wear and corrosion inhibitors tailored to Honda/Acura differential metallurgy.
• Factory-grade specification reduces the chance of friction mismatch compared with generic fluids.

Can I store or mix unopened bottles safely for future service?

Unopened OEM bottles stored in a cool, dry place remain suitable for future maintenance; avoid prolonged sun exposure or contamination. Do not mix different fluid types or brands unless the vehicle manual explicitly permits them, as mixing can change friction and wear characteristics.

• Store upright in a sealed container away from extreme temperatures and UV light.
• Use within the manufacturer-recommended shelf life when possible.
• Label bottles with vehicle and date opened if kept for future top-offs after opening.

Who this is for: Technicians, fleet managers, and Acura/Honda owners who require the factory-specified AWD Type-II DPSF for center or rear differentials will benefit from this Newparts three-quart kit. It’s aimed at anyone performing scheduled differential service, replacing contaminated fluid after off-road use, or ensuring correct fluid formulation for vehicles that list DPSF/Type-II in their service requirements. Always cross-reference the vehicle year, model, and AWD configuration with the owner’s manual to confirm compatibility before purchase.
