Excelente video! Gracias
best video because you showed every part/detail even the most important part in my opinion which was what way to turn the drain plug, which all other videos didn't. Great Job!
if you don't know which way to turn a drain plug you should not touch your car.
Awesome video! Very detailed and to the point thank you..
Very good lesson!..gracias
Thank you for teaching me i learned a lot!
Thanks boss! Really appreciate it! Hugs from Brazil!
You're welcome!
You narrate so well I want this in melody sheep autotune. Everyone would know how to change their fluid with a song. :)
You said you dont think anyone can argue that the more fluid changes you do the better for your car........I change my fluid after every drive ....
I like your videos ! thanks
Good tutorial. Great job
Video helped me. Thanks.
Thank you. Well detailed.
Great job.
cool video man thanks
Thanks for watching
That's something maybe the engineers at Honda could look at it as having not just jack points in the car but actually jack stand points cuz there's a lot of Honda enthusiasts out there like to work on their own cars
Muito obrigado. Sucesso
doing my 94 white Dx tommorow
I change the AT filter every 150.000kms,puppy has 255.000kms now and shifts like new. ( Honda Civic Aerodeck 1999 1.4 Is automatic 4 speed )
Thank you. Whenever you do a video again, can you point out where it is. Is it inside the transmission like the American cars or out side some where.
+Heriberto R Montalvo Filter should be towards the bottom and inside of the transmission. I assume you have experiences and you worked on cars that require or recommend transmission filter change. For the car that I was working on I'll just tell you this, I don't plan on and will never change the filter.
I have codes P0715 and P0730 do you think I should drain and refill my transmission fluid to turn of the Flashing D4 light
good job !!
I'd rather use the Honda Premium DW-1 ATF than the Castrol fluid he was using.
Why ?
@@califmike2003 I might wreck the transmission if I use any brand of ATF other than what's specified in the owner's manual. Same with the power steering fluid and antifreeze.
@@shikat2371 hondas oem fluid isnt of the best quality, ive used valvoline and the shifting was much smoother
Mines leeks, it was leaking on the passanger side under the bumper cover on the bottom of the car idk where its coming from imma check it out this week
I wouldn’t put anything but Honda fluid in these. They are testy
I have CRV 1999. This Automatic Transmission has a filter?
Thanks for the info!
+RenewedFaith Glad you like the info!
😂😂😂your funny. Your fluid spilled all over the place.
when my 1998 civic heats up it slips gears. while sitting at a red light it wont catch on. rpms go up and the engine revs. and turning it off for a minute fixes the problem for about 15 mins. so is this the fluid? its an automatic, i figured you know more about this than me. so what do you think?
+David Mccune what's the mileage on your vehicle? Check the fluid if fluid is too dark it's probably because maintenance wasn't kept up with. Also, make sure the level is correct on the dipstick. Your transmission might be near the end of it's useful life. Consider adding Prolong Super Lubricant Transmission Treatment to your fluid.
If anyone is still watching this video; i've got an 1997 EK3 hatch and want to change the atf but was wondering whats with the transmission filter?
Does the 4 speed AT an filter and if yes do you need to change it during the maintenance?
any issues with the castrol trans fluid? other videos SWEAR to only use Honda trans fluid, thanks!
The fluid I used on this video I had no problem with it during the time I owned this car.
@@WelkingVue thanks for the quick response!
What would be the benefit of doing this to my civic? It's never been done before, and maybe it's time. I have the exact same car. Would I notice some difference in the way it runs? Thanks.
Gotcha. Thanks for the reply.
You might or might not notice a different. Most likely you won't notice a different. The benefit is the peace of mind that you did a routine maintenance and knowing your transmission will last longer.
Highzen Berg most likely yes but if the tranny fluid looks good not dirty you don't really have to but honestly I would cause who knows when is the last time it was change I did this on my RUclips but it got deleted some how but check out my videos
Greetings from Brazil! Unfortunely there is no videos about this fluid change here, but I want to ask you about my situation: I'm owner of a 98 Civic but I think that the ATF has never been changed before. It have an almost clear brown color, but it's not burnt. The question is: Can I proceed with this change, putting new fluid and mixing with the old one that will remain? I read in some places that it was not recommended. Congrats for your nice vid!
I think there are some vehicle if you got old and dirty fluid for so long and you change the fluid, then the new fluid could actually damage the transmission. I don't know if this would apply to 1998 Honda Civic transmission. By the way, it's good to know you are from Brazil.
fala, Augusto! tudo bem? cara, meu caso e exatamente igual ao seu. O que voce findou fazendo e qual foi o resultado, por favor? obrigado!
@@caiquefrancis Opa Francis, tudo bem? Cara eu optei por fazer a troca. Considerando o estado do óleo do meu, tendi a crer que o antigo dono fez alguma troca em algum momento. Então comprei os litros de fluido originais na honda e fiz a troca parcial.
Quando o mecanico tirou o bujão, por sorte havia pouquíssimas limalhas grudadas, sinal de que estava em bom estado. O óleo também não tinha muuuito cheiro de ferro, o que indica que não houve muito desgaste ou até mesmo que teve alguma troca em algum momento. Também não tinha nenhum problema na troca de marcha, nos tempos, ou perder a marcha no meio do caminho, falta de compressão. Fiz a troca uns meses depois de perguntar ao Welking e até então está em perfeito estado.
Lembrando que fiz a parcial, não recomendo fazer o flush, por poder transportar borras pra dentro das canaletas e aí ferrar tudo. Se você achar melhor (e tiver $$$ para isso) faça a primeira parcial, ande uma semana, drena novamente e faz outra parcial, mais uma semana e ai drena e faz mais uma parcial, porque ai tu vai estar com quase 80% de óleo "novo". Se tiver alguma dúvida adicional é só me avisar ai! Ah, outra informação importante: troque a vedação do bujão. Se vende na concessionária, é 20 reais e te evita de ter algum vazamento por ali. Abraço
@@augustopresa3476 cara, muito obrigado mesmo por tirar um tempo pra me responder aqui. Bom, tenho pesquisado bastante e, obviamente, estou meio apreensivo, mas acho que vou seguir seus passos (haha!), pois no meu caso, as marchas estão boas e o óleo não está queimado tampouco. Enfim, muito obrigado mesmo, Augusto! Ótimo final de semana pra você!
@@caiquefrancis que isso, cara. Se eu puder ajudar em mais alguma coisa só avisa aqui. Boa sorte na tua manutenção ai, acho que vai dar tudo certo. O AT desse Civic é bem resistente e se feito as manutenções corretas vai longe. Leve num mecânico de confiança e não se atira nessas casas de câmbio que só querem vender o flush por 1500 reais. Faz o que é pedido no manual que é sucesso. Se tu mesmo for fazer o procedimento, procura o Service Manual do Civic, tem em PDF para download, é em inglês, mas é hiper explicativo. Abraço, bom finde!
nice civic automatic fluid civic auto
Righty tighty...lefty loosey
A lot of people use that method to remember. Clockwise and counter-clockwise easier for me.
Mr. Welking Vue, I saw you change the fluid. But, I didn't see you change the filter. Is there any filter to be chaned?
+Heriberto R Montalvo I am aware there are some cars that the filter needs to be changed. For the car I was working on, changing transmission filter isn't applicable.
+Welking Vue Thank you, Sr. But does it have a filter though? Reason I asked is because one of my sons gave Honda Civic DX to my other son. I know nothing about Honda's. But, I'm looking to get familiar with them.
+Heriberto R Montalvo Yes Civic have transmission filter, but it's not necessary to change the filter when you do a transmission fluid change, but obviously if you do change the transmission filter it would help extend the life of the transmission.
+Welking Vue as far as I know honda civic 1996 to 2000 model has transmission filter but its inside of the transmission itself, so you would be doing the transmission filter change on a overhaul.
every year? every 140,000 km's.Never get a flush if the trans is working fine. Only use Honda fluid. Drain and fill only.
That's what Honda says to use. For over 20 years I never use Honda fluid and never had problem with Honda transmission. This is what I do. Other people should do what they feel is best for their car.
hello I have a question. I have honda civic 96 automatic trans 160k miles on it, I want to change and fully flush (100%) of my old atf on my car... Ive searched on the internet (honda forum) is that if you wanna fully flush your old atf, you must do the drain, refill then drive method. just repeat it 3 times after another to fully flush your old atf, is this true? or this method on your video would do. thanks need your help.
+Maddy Muhat As far as I know Honda don't recommend flushing 96-00 civic. Probably because flushing might damage the transmission. If you have not already done so, check the condition of your transmission fluid by using the dipstick. Then when you change the transmission fluid, drive for a while, then check the condition again with the dipstick. How new or how clean your transmission fluid is? Compare it to brand new transmission fluid. Try using the same type of transmission fluid, so you can compare what's clean and what's not. To your question, I would say it's not true, you won't get a 100% flush because old and new fluid are mixed together, but you should not have to worry about that, if you're going to change it three times, that should be enough. I would drive for 2-3 days before each change though.
+Welking Vue ahh okay thank you very much, so my 2nd drain and refill interval would be 2 to 3 days after the day of my 1st drain and refill right?, also why on your video its stated 1996-2000 if its not recommended to do flushing of atf on 1996? sorry for many question :))
+Maddy Muhat You don't really have to wait 2 or 3 days before doing another drain and refill. Personally if I was going to do drain and refill, and then do it again, I would drive for 5 miles before doing another drain and refill. Don't forget to shift selector to all positions. You just want the old and new fluid to mix well before doing another fluid change. On my video I stated 1996-2000 transmission fluid CHANGE, it's changing the fluid just a drain and refill, not FLUSHING.
+Welking Vue okay okay thanks for the reply you really help me a lot. so in short the term "flushing" is different from just drain and refill? and by doing the flusing I must do the 3X method?? is it correct?
+Maddy Muhat Flushing is using a machine to flush all the fluid out. Drain and refill, all you do is drain it and refill it. When you drain not all the fluid will drain out. Just keep draining and refilling and check the fluid each time with the dipstick, once the fluid looks clean, then it's good. If you are concern about your transmission, add transmission treatment to it. From my experience PROLONG SUPER LUBRICANTS Transmission Treatment are the best it's NO EQUAL IN THE WORLD.
What transmission fluid should I use for 2000 Honda civic es8
what if my transmission pops when I switch gears ?
+Japan Shanhai I'm assuming you drive a manual transmission. I don't have much experience with manual transmission. It could have something to do with the clutch I'm not sure though. I can't really help you on this one it's out of my knowledge.
I solved it my car was back firing
+Japan Shanhai Good to know!
Does it have a filter??
I don't remember it's been a while and if it does have a filter I don't think changing filter is needed.
No filter on this transmission
Just saying you dont want to put jack stands on engine , engine components or oil pans.
I don't remember how my set up was. If I did put jack stand under the engine, it was push there for backup only. It was not there to support the weight of anything, all it was is backup.
Do you have to jack the car up
Green Ranger no
How many liters of fluid did you put?
Harry Potter I didn't know if you read your comments but it's I believe every 60,000 miles on that car for the oil change Nest just for the cost to be so you're just kind of renewing by replacing the oil at a hundred and twenty thousand miles of recommend changing taking the pan off and changing the filter screen or cleaning the filter screen but over change the oil that transmission is not a good thing and it's a waste of oil
