My 2024 RDX With 27000 miles is due for service. The code is A127. oil change, tire rotation, air and cabin filters ( I do myself) and the 7 is change the brake fluid. When I called my mechanic to make an appointment he said changing brake fluid at that mileage is crazy and a money grab from Acura. I trust this guy and have been using him for 25 years. He never steered me wrong or looks for extra work. He is as honest as they come and all my cars over the years have been maintained well. My previous RDX I traded in with 150000 miles on it. He said the brake fluid should be changed every 5 years. Why is Acura recommending a brake fluid change with so little miles on the car?

Called an electrician for a quote for an interlock and 30A plug for a generator. He wouldn’t do an interlock because of reliability issues regarding main breaker eventually malfunctioning and leaving you without power once you try to switch back to utility power. He was pushing a manual transfer box with six dedicated breakers (like they have for whole house generators ) at 2-3 times the cost of an interlock. I never heard of issues with interlocks. I’m assuming if you have a real old box with old breakers it may be an issue. But if that’s the case why not just change the main breaker when installing the interlock? Any thoughts or insights appreciated.
