Thanks!
Thanks a lot, good sir!
Your awesome!
Thank you!
This is a great video to send to my wife so she finally knows how to check fluids. Maybe even for my kids so when they are older they know how to do it too lol

Just an FYI to anyone looking to check their automatic transmission fluid level in their 01-05 Civic (non-CVT)... the Honda owner’s manual states to get the car up to operating temperature, TURN THE ENGINE OFF, and WAIT 60 seconds but no more than 90 seconds to check the fluid level. I have never had to do the check this way with any other car, but the manual is very specific about this with this Civic.
Having just finished replacing the transmission in my daughter’s car, I would suggest very highly that you read your manual for the correct method of checking and only use the Honda ATF-Z1 (ATF-HG DW1, now I believe) ATF fluid if replacement is necessary.
I love your videos, 1A AUTO, but maybe you should re-film this one so that people have the correct information.
I was very disappointed in your “most cars are checked while running” reply to someone else that also pointed out your mistake. Apparently, this Civic is not “most cars” and a video actually representing the difference in checking this car as opposed to “other” cars would be very important.
I've had to do this with another vehicle ;) The fluid apparently had to be warm to check.
Have an 04 civic coupe, 170k miles, runs like a 19’ 😍.
These things are known to last forever it’s crazy
Yea i just bought a 04 VP civic sedan. 160k and thenengine and trans feel smooth. I love it
Yeah I have an 05 with 230k. Glad I live in Cali where part don’t rust. I always travel from LA to the Bay Area. And Nevada with no problems. !
Old and new Civics are the best 💙🔥 just like a tank slow but powerful 😤🔥
@@Edgar-and-Wrench VP?
@@SkinnyJeans511 230k miles is small miles! I have the 04 EX SSRS with 408,300+ the last time I checked! I have driven it all over the US and I got it when I was 17-18 (high school) and I am 37 now. 😮
The coolant reservoir in this car doesn't have a "FULL" line. It's "MIN" and "MAX". And you're using green coolant in a Honda that specifies the blue coolant for Asian vehicles.
I can’t see the min and max fluid for the coolant when I fill it. I know where it’s located but can’t see it, it sucks.
What I do is use my phone’s flashlight and place it near the bottom of the reservoir so I can see the fluid.
The radiator can be low but the reservoir tank at perfect level? In that case you add to radiator directly?
My dealership and another that I checked to verify, both verify that the trans fluid is checked with engine off.
+MaturusTV Thank you for checking us out. Most applications require the vehicle to be at operating temperature and in neutral to get an accurate reading. We recommend to follow the dealership's advise however. 1aauto.com
correct, get radiator to operating temperature, turn off motor then wait 1 minute and check atf with motor left off.
Most vehicles you want the engine on and running at operational temperature. Hondas are one of the few cars that require a cool check. Engine must be off to get a reading.
This is from Haynes, 2001 to 2011 Honda Civic Automatic transaxle fluid level check:
haynes.com/en-us/car-manuals/honda/civic/2001-2011/on-demand/17-gas/fluid-level-checks
31 If the vehicle has not just been driven, park the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and start the engine. While the engine is idling, depress the brake pedal and move the selector lever through all the gear ranges, beginning and ending in Park
32 With the engine still idling, remove the dipstick from its tube. Check the level of the fluid on the dipstick and note its condition (see illustrations)
Having all these opposing instructions are a PITA!
I'm fine with checking oil, transmission fluid, and the radiator coolant level. However, I have trouble checking fluid levels in containers that have "min" and "max" lines because they're difficult for me to see through. I've tried checking these containers (such as for brake fluid and the coolant reservoir) during the daytime when the sun is shining and using a flashlight, and I've even gently rocked the car back and forth to see if I could observe the liquid level sloshing back and forth, but have not had success.
Are there any tricks you could recommend for me?
In the case of the coolant reservoir, do I not see the liquid level because it's potentially empty? It's a 2015 civic with about 17,500 miles, so relatively new, but do even newer cars perhaps run out of coolant in the reservoir?
Thanks very much in advance. These fluid checks have been perplexing me, and I'd like to keep on top of them.
Matt Ulman use a flash light to shine in the contanor it should show
Add the coolant all the way up and then turn engine tell fan start on and let the gravity take the exceed of coolant
I found the check on the radiator coolant tricky to do as well but managed to check the level by using a bright flashlight and shining it through the side of the reservoir since you cannot access the rear of the reservoir.
I have a semi automatic 2006 civic honda mk8 there is no dipstick to check transmission fluid how do I check the level to refill.?
Whats the amount of transmission fluid between the 2 lines on trans dipstick? Tx
This video is going to forever be a god send to me, I bought an 03 civic used from a private party and discovered there was no owners manual when I got home
Same thing happened to me. But I found a pdf copy of the owner's manual for my Honda online.
@1A Auto Parts,how can you tell if the coolant level is correct,it hard to see the level,is it any type of tool one can use to check the fluid
Great tutorial! Simple and to the point!
+Phinehas Thank you!
Putting a custom air intake on your car and then letting your air filter get so dirty it resembles rust should be a fuckin crime dawg 💀💀
thanks for mentioning how many quarts the transmission takes
+Lemon Breeland Thank you for your feedback!
i want to ask transmission fluid check , engine running and the gearknob at P or N ? tQ
Do you have any suggestions on cleaning the tanks to get a better reading? All of my clear tanks are so old and dirty on the outside that I can't get a clear reading (coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid). Is there a way to take the tanks out safely and easily to clean, or a cleaning supply that I can simply use?
I know this is super old, but I had them replace the coolant reserve one and day and night. I also couldn’t see the levels before in my 03.
Thanks folks for doing this video, I appreciate your help with my brakes.

Does the coolant in the radiator need to be all the way up to the neck level like you are showing? Mine is not but the expansion tank is slightly over the max line so I don't know if it would be wise to top off the radiator.
I'm only guessing but I'd compromise.. if slightly over in expansion tank then slightly under in the radiator 🤷♂️
The atf addition is what I wanted to see and it’s the one thing you didn’t fill.
+M Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.
My uncle sold me his car 05 honda civic it already got a engine replaced once and the air broken i was messing around looking at fluids and their was no antifreeze in the car at all and by looks of it my engine over heats a lot had it on for a few seconds and it got so hot i could not touch it so looks like im have do some repair work
+ryan foREVer Thanks for watching. 1aauto.com
I drive an 02 civic coupe AT and in order to check the trans fluid properly you’re supposed to have the vehicle OFF after driving it and reaching normal operating temps. If I check it with the vehicle running the fluid return pours back into the trans case right where the hole is for the dipstick. This car must be a manual?
Thank you This was so easy to follow.
My coolant overflow bottle is always full but when I check the coolant level in the radiator it’s low?
Thank you for these useful videos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+AP Media You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
All right now am I going nuts because I cannot find a dipstick for my transmission in my 01 Civic EX manual transmission
Thank you this helped me immensely I now feel confident now with what I need to know and the engine fluid 🎉 Thank you for this video
Apparently hondas should only use green or blue coolant is this true?TIA
Your supposed to add blue coolant
I've got a 2001 civic. This has been very helpful thanks for posting.
je comprends pas tout veuillez mettre des souscriptions en francais s.t.p j'ai un honda civic 2002 j'ai besoin de savoir quel coolant que je dois mettre la dedans
That engine ground wire 😳. Are we just going to ignore that?
I think you overfilled coolant reservoir. Lol
its fine if i will just top up a little of new transmission fluid.?
Is there normal ticking with Honda ?
Great video but that Honda need a transmission flush oil is nasty
what is the engine oil for honda civic es 2002?
Finally someone who knows Honda’s ty
Which hash marks the top or bottom ones?
Thanks great video, do you know which type of ATF a 2002 Civic HX 1.7L coupe like this one but with CVT trany uses...?
+divebarquin We suggest checking your user manual for the correct fluid for your specific vehicle. Thanks for watching.
It uses DW-1 ATF you can also use valvoline atf synthetic fluid
Does the transmission need to be in neutral or park when checking transmission fluid?
thank you
Great video this helped me ty
As good as it gets! Thanks!
Do i have the car on during the process?
No
What coolant did you use?
Another great job
Thanks guys 😊
Great video very informative thank you, nice cold air intake btw😉
That filter is Mint!
+LS Redneck Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
thanks 1A Auto
Useful
+Kaze Oner Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Thanks but what about Clutch Fluid ??
+Caroline Fergussen We currently do not have an auto repair video that covers this particular repair. We will keep this request in mind in the event that we need to make this repair in the future. 1aauto.com
That engine sounds like a lawnmower.
Sounds like it has intake leaks from that ram air intake, it causes the engine to idle loudly with gurgling, rattling sounds. Mine sounded like that until I started using T-bolt clamps and proper 4-ply silicone couplers, instead of hose clamps and cheap, thin couplers. Hose clamps just don't work because they allow leaks through the gap in pressure where the screw is. Now my engine idles smoothly.
my 2004 doesnt have a dip stick, its also 1.7 4cyl, however manual transmission, bastards (Honda engineers)
jj coolj only autos have dipsticks to refill yours u need to go under car
jj coollj My Honda Civic EX is 2004 coupe, 4cyl 5 speed. I love mine only today, suddenly the clutch went all the way to the floor.The smaller clutch reservoir is very low on brake fluid. 139k
