  • Change the transmission oil on a 2010 Honda CIvic. The process is the same from 2006 to 2011. The procedure is as follows:
    1. Warm up vehicle to operating temperature.
    2. Remove drain plug and let transmission drain.
    3. Re-insert drain plug.
    4. Pour 2.75 quarts of automatic transmission fluid (ATF) into transmission dip stick hole.
    5. Test drive vehicle and check for abrupt shifting.
    If you transmission shifts abruptly, check the transmission fluid level and add as necessary.
    The entire oil change took about 1 hour, and it took about 10 minutes for the vehicle to reach operating temperature, and let it completely drain for 30 minutes
    The drain plug should be torqued to 36 ft-lb.

    The right fluid is critical in these things. Check your manual to get the specific fluid type. I almost destroyed my 2012 Civic by using Castrol "multi use" ATF fluid. Mine requires H type fluid and WalMart didn't have it in stock so I went with the Castrol. Big mistake. Luckily I noticed a mild shudder between 1st and 2nd starting about a week after I changed the fluid. Drained it and put the H type in. Smooth as silk now

    Have you ever done the filter ( 25430-PLR-003 ) and a complete fluid exchange? If I recall correctly only 3 quarts come out when doing it this way and the trans capacity is 6.2 quarts....

      Generally speaking, yes. I changed mine for the first time at around 68k miles. I bought the car used and wasn't sure if the fluid and filter were ever changed. It was clean but you could tell it was a bit dirty. I figured the filter could be dirty too, so I went ahead and bought a filter at my local Honda dealership. However, just order one off Amazon. It's much cheaper! Part number 25430-PLR-003. In my opinion, it's worth changing the filter every once in a while.

      You buy a used car, it's a good idea to change ALL fluids. That would be radiator, engine oil, transmission oil, power steering fluid. It's called cheap insurance. You have to ask yourself, How motivated was the seller to do maintenance knowing they're going to get rid of the vehicle?
