My pleasure! Thank you for watching 👍🏼

@@rixautomotive910 I am about to do it myself following your very detailed and instructional video, thanks! What's the cleaner you used to clean up the area around the plug?

Do check transmission fluid while running or while shut off up to temp?​@rixautomotive910

I changed the ATF fluid with some weird symptoms. Trans slipping and hard shifting. Any ideas? Did your work fine after the change?

@@ChristianMartinez-lg4lk yes. My vehicle drove normally after I did what was in this video.

@@Surry918 thanks

Drained/filled back to back 3x? Re using the same transmission fluid?

@robertgrlic6505 not the dirty drained fluid.... I bought new Honda transmission fluid and refilled it with fresh fluid

My pleasure! Thanks for watching 👍🏼

I've used valvoline maxlife for years non-issue

Thanks for watching!

For the amount of fluid he had, it is just easier to wipe it off with a rag or paper towel. There really isn't a need to use solvent here.

Got a few questions for you about my 2013 Honda Odyssey

Use the dipstick to fill up.

I agree-- rotational torque is not affected by an extension unless significantly off its axis of rotation

2016 odyssey has a sealed transmission and has no transmission oil filter to change.

Not all years have external filters

You can (I actually did this yesterday chaging fluid in my 2011 Odyssey) -- only because I didn't watch this video first and didn't know about the fill plug--- on the 2011 anyway, the dipstick hole is VERY small-- maybe 3/8" and my funnel did not fit-- I luckily had a pump adapter (like soap dispenser pump) that you can put on quart sized bottles and it has a 1/4" hose on the outlet-- so refilled mine with this through the dip stick hole-- it would have been much faster/easier using the fill plug.

I fill through the dipstick tube.

That is how I do it work perfectly

No filter on 5 speed

Pwazy Dev you may do both. While some Honda and Acura’s May have the wider dipstick, the majority of H&A dipstick tubes were narrow & skinny making it difficult to pour into without making a large mess. Out of habit I prefer to use the manufactures fill plug.

Mine seems to take more than they say why? I can hardly see it on the dipstick.

Turn off the engine while checking.@@seanjamesmacleod241

Flush means replacing all fluids. Fluid change (AKA drain and fill) only replacing about 1/4 the total capacity.

I found this on an Odyssey Club web site to help explain the difference. Long story short, you don't want to do a 'flush' as it forces fluid through the transmission. A 1x drain-and-fill should be all most vehicles need. You can also do a 3X drain-and-fill (spaced about a week apart) to get most all fluid replaced while letting the new fluid clean the system. ---------------------- "A "drain-and-fill" is exactly what it sounds like; the ATF drain plug is removed and the fluid is allowed to drain out with nothing but gravity helping it along. Once the ATF has stopped leaking out of the drain hole, the plug is replaced and the transmission is refilled with fresh ATF. A "flush" usually refers to a process where a machine is connected to the transmission and pressurized ATF is used to push or flush out all of the old fluid that is in the transmission housing and torque converter. Other types of machines simply use the vehicle's ATF pump to draw new fluid in and push the old fluid out. Honda does not recommend doing a flush on their automatic transmissions - not even to their own fully trained mechanics at the dealership. No mechanic who has any familiarity with Honda transmissions should be hooking it up to a fluid exchange machine. If you take your Ody to a Honda dealership for ATF service, they will be doing a drain-and-fill. That is the process that is prescribed in the service manual that the mechanics use. The only ATF replacement procedure approved by Honda is the drain-and-fill. Most shops that I am aware of will only do the process once and will quote prices for doing it once. Doing one drain-and-fill will replace about 45% of the ATF contained in the transmission. If you wanted the process to be completed three times (which would get you up to the 85% new fluid state), you would have to specifically ask for that to take place. That could potentially get pricey, but if the ATF has been neglected in the past, or if you are already experiencing problems, it is still far cheaper than any repair. The ATF drain-and-fill is generally considered a regular maintenance item and that is why it is generally offered as a single time service. Doing a triple drain-and-fill is a more drastic intervention that is usually indicated by the presence of problems in the transmission's performance or knowledge that the maintenance has been neglected in the past and a fresh start is needed to catch up."

There is no 2016 Odyssey CVT transmission.

You can but slower

@@scottlanier5133 Thank you.

There is another internal one as well you don't wanna change very hard place not normal

You're welcome!

Yes the fluid can be added there

There is an internal one that is very hard to access. The external one is beneath the battery holder you have to remove some things.

It will do the exact same thing it works

1 drain and fill is sufficient if the service has been performed per the manufactures recommendations.

I add through dipstick. It’s much easier.

2 front. Rear wouldn't make sense

The honda's with filters installed are supposed to be for life-- however IMO I don't think it would hurt change it out (but I would only use Honda one)-- but the vehicle in the video only had 30,000 miles on it.... I would maybe consider doing this at 150,000 to 200,000 milies --- I believe those filters have bypasses in them so when clogged they do nothing.

According to my Honda dealer, Honda published an advisory NOT to flush this tranny. The dealer will only drain and fill 3.3 quarts at a time based on the advisory.

Yes they do that because they don't want the liability, but if you keep up with regular service (generally 30k miles complete flush for lightly driven sedan) these transmissions will last a very long time. I also replaced the inline filter with a Magnefine

If they fluid is old (>100k) it's better to just leave it alone and run the trans into the ground. Flushing abused transmissions can do more harm than good

@@cguy6934 Just changed the 2016 Honda Odyssey transmission oil, why the oil I changed out is only 2L? I measured it with a mineral water bottle.

Yes factory bolt comes with magnet on all Hondas. I've personally used valvoline import and maxlife in Hondas and toyotas no issues

Sage TL if you’ve kept up with your transmission fluid services and you don’t have any transmission issues I don’t see a benefit to do so however if the transmission fluid has been neglected I can see the need 👍🏼

@@rixautomotive910 I've had the TL for a year . It had 152K on it according to maintenance records transmission fluid was changed at 80K. It shifts fine but fluid is dark.That's why I would do 3 quarts out 3 quarts in now then in a month do the same .And a month later same so all fluid is out of transmission. The 3X3x3 method. Thank you for your response. I value your information.

Sage TL my pleasure! 👍🏼

What? Your question doesn't make sense

I don't think so. I have a 140K on mine, so I started changing out 3.3 quarts of tranny fluid once a year now. Tranny still works great and I hope to keep it that way.

Yes

You can refill through the dipstick, but it's much slower and the fill bolt is easily removed with an extension.

I use the dipstick on my 2013 and it doesn’t take longer at all.

Brake fluid

kevin my pleasure. Thanks for watching. ZEP brake clean 👍🏼

3-4 drain and fills yes. Only one drain removes only approx 1/3 of the fluid and flushes can damage transmission

Brake cleaner. It's great stuff for cleaning all fluids.

18mm

Each drain and fill only replaces about 1/3 of the total fluid in the system so that’s about right if you do it every 30k. It’s better to spread the D&F’s out so you don’t shock the system with a bunch of new ATF, the detergents could dislodge crud and clog a valve if you do it all at once.
