Рет қаралды 19,810
8 ай бұрынThe Odyssey featured in this video is a 2013, but this video covers 2011-2017. There is no internal filter to change, and no transmission pan to drop. It's simply a drain and refill procedure. Recommended every 30K miles.
Drain plug: 36ft-lbs (crush washers): amzn.to/3u40T2e
Fill plug (17mm): 32ft-lbs
1 gallon of Valvoline Maxlife ATF (meets Honda DW-1 standard): amzn.to/3vL6isv

Honda DW-1 ATF: amzn.to/3ZKp1m9

Very thorough, thanks. You said at the beginning 3.3 qt but ended up shy of 4 qt. (That's what the dip stick is for.) Good that you mentioned the dip stick level, I was wondering where the hot fluid should register between the two holes. You are the first one that said any ATF will work as long as it's rated for DW1. I first drained and filled at 100k and the slight shudder between shifts disappeared. I will change more often.

You’re welcome! The fluid level is good if it’s between those two holes, period. I like to fill it to the top hole. There are a lot of people that freak out if you don’t use Honda fluid. Honda fluid is great choice, but the real concern is simply using the right type. I’ve never had any issues using a different brand of fluid that’s the right type. I use the Valvoline fluid in my wife’s Ford Flex with 270k miles on the original trans and my GMC 2500 with 349k on the original trans. I’ve used it in other vehicles with more miles, but that’s just what we currently are driving. Thanks for watching!!

You’re welcome! If the fluid looks really dark I would recommend doing the service again. You don’t get all the fluid out with a single drain. If it still looks pretty red, then I wouldn’t worry about it and you can just go by the regular service intervals.

I bought a 16 Honda Odyssey with the 6 speed. Is the procedure the same than for this one? It has 113k miles and Carfax shows this service being done at the dealer every 30k, with the last one actually done about 8k miles ago. I was planning to do this service every other oil change (every 10k miles). Would that be overkill? Also, can I use the dipstick tube to fill the ATF? Thanks!

Honda trans are very sensitive and the clutch packs and internal parts only work best when fluid is fresh. When fluid wears down it is more slick and doesn’t grab clutches and discs very good resulting in noticeable “slipping” of the trans..

The transmission is the single biggest Achilles heel in the Honda Odyssey. More so than any other part of the vehicle, the engine has some issues. But it's not anything, like. The transmission is singing a tune Every time I see one on the road.

I have an interesting question So i have just drained and fill it but when i check the fluid level theres no reading any ideas ?
@bennieaust 2 ай бұрын
First: Make sure the vehicle is level and follow the fluid checking procedure at 9:46 Second: Sometimes clean fluid is hard to see on the dipstick. Make certain you are not just missing the clean fluid on the dipstick. Third: If there is no fluid on the dipstick, add half a quart and recheck. Repeat until you get it up to the correct level. Hope that helps!

My 2012 Honda Ody has 125k miles. I bought it with 65k. The ATF as never been changed by me or the previous owner. I am real skeptical about doing a drain and fill at this stage. I have heard a lot of horror stories about slippage. What are your thoughts?
@bennieaust 7 ай бұрын
In my opinion it's not something you'll need to worry about. A drain and refill will only be replacing about half the fluid anyway, so even if it's very dirty, it won't be a shock to the system. Based on how dirty it actually is, you may want to do another service in a shorter interval than normal.

Drain and fill is no problem. No “power flushing” of the system. It’s as harmless as a regular oil change. You will want to do it on Honda or you will have issues and slipping of trans gears eventually. Nothing dangerous about a drain and fill procedure

You said there wasn't a serviceable filter on the trans for this vehicle..... that's incorrect and misleading unless I miss heard it. But if you do fluid it's always good to do filter just makes sense and with honda and Nissan I cut the trans service interval in half just due to their history's with transmissions
@bennieaust 14 күн бұрын
Sorry if I wasn’t clear on that. There is no internal serviceable filter. There is an external filter that can be replaced. It’s smart to cut the service recommendation in half. It’s easy inexpensive maintenance that will extend the life of the transmission.

I did the filter on my 16 Odyssey by removing the drivers front tire. Unbolting the 3-10mm bolts on the clamp holding the filter. One of the 10mm bolts facing the front of the car I could only get with a ratcheting 10mm stubby wrench very slowly. Clamps on the two hoses are easy after that and then put it back together. Was it easy...No, but I did the whole remove battery thing and I could not get the clamps off the hoses and then tried from below. Just giving another way. With a lift it should be even easier. GREAT VIDEO.

What I know is that Honda recommends type DW-1 fluid for this transmission. I have serviced hundreds of transmissions and I never use the wrong type of fluid and I’ve never destroyed a transmission by using a non OEM brand. You obviously feel very strongly about this and so you should definitely use Honda brand DW-1 fluid in your vehicle. I would never recommend that someone specifically avoid Honda brand fluid. It’s great stuff. Thanks for watching!

Since you are using such cheap trans fluid, change it every 12 months, drain and fill, once a year. Honda has weak transmissions, it does require extra care, only $25 cheap trans fluid , who cares

I agree, Honda isn’t known for these transmissions being bulletproof. Frequent fluid changes are not a bad idea.
@MrSamPhoenix 3 ай бұрын
Here’s the thing. People will thrash the hell out of these transmissions and never service them until it’s too late. Honda has done a pretty good job with these transmissions since 2007 and beyond. Yes, a drain and fill once a year will keep these transmissions happy. But it’s dirt cheap and easy to perform.
