Yes, road salt. Not sure if you ever see any where you are.
I don't think any of the west coast states use it. But thanks for the tips. HTO-06 oil is certainly a must. Would probably opt for PUP 5W-30.
Ah, OK, so please ignore all the alarms I just set off. Seriously!
Can't go wrong with PUP! And you can just follow the OLM for oil changes, the turbo RDX has a very aggressive OLM, doing only short trips, I have seen oil changes due after only 4000 km (2500 miles). Probably the only Honda/Acura that has an aggressive enough calculation to deal with short tripping.
The extended warranty on the A/C clutch goes for 7 years, so no worries about it, if it fails, you get the new improved one for free!
