    Just finished this job on my 2009 2.4 Accord. I let it drip for about half an hour, it took exactly 3.5 quarts to fill it.

      Ah, wa your fluid warm when yo did it? I did mine completely cold and I didn’t even need to jack it up, I do to make it a little more level to drain the fluid but I drained around 3.1 so I put back in the same amount and I’m at the full line

    My 2010 Honda Accord LX (4cycl) took 3.5 quarts. Most of these car from 08-12 they say can vary. Some take 2.6 quarts and some 3.5qts.

    Just did mine a couple of hours ago, no torque wrench but I made sure she was tight! No leaks! Cars driving perfectly normal! It took id say 3.1 qts . It was 3 qts and some change around 100ml over 3 qts

      To be safe, you can always measure the amount of fluid that was drained before filling.

      Mine was only 3 quarts. I hate it when people quote capacities. I took out 3 and replaced 3, and it's full according to the dip stick.

      @@omarG19100 there actually is a filter for the Honda transmission. If you pause the video at the 3:00 mark, the hard line/rubber line left of the fill hole goes directly to the filter. It's bolted to the top of the transmission. You can access it between the air intake plumbing and the fuse box. It's a 30.00 part. Great video by the way to the OP. Quick and full of only the information needed.

      Pull the atf return line from the radiator back to transmission, put a new hose at the radiator return barb, funnel the oil into a container. Run car and stop immediately when oil pressure drops, refill and check level

    I went to the Honda dealer to get information on how much ATF this car took for a drain and fill they told me 2.63 quarts, so thats what I did drove it for a day then checked the atf and it hardly was on the dipstick. I looked this video up online and now I know its 3.5. My transmission does not feel the same my acceleration is not as good as it was feels slower. Wonder if I caused any damages?

      What we were draining on this vehicle is not a pan. If you strip that out the plug itself is replaceable. The threads can be re-tapped and threaded in the transmission.
