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
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
skyeric875 i'm sure I didn't forget to do it but it looks like forgot to mention it. When you're working on is the second nature to do that stuff and not think about it.
@@094340 interesting... my 2012 2.4 took 2.7 quarts but I did read on the forums that some model years have different capacities. Gotta check the owner's manual
@@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.
@@HowtoAutomotive the drain plug is fine. however the top of the drain hole, a piece came out so i tried using a jb welder however it’s still leaking, i was wondering if the drain hole is replaceable?
Anthony V I just checked AlData. And they recommend a tranny service at 120,000. I would double check your owners manual it should be in the maintenance section.
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.

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.
Agreed I orders 4 just incase

You forgot to wipe off the drain plug which is magnetic to absorb the metallic fragments

How to Automotive all good!
Can you please settle it for once, on a 4 cyl. Is it 2.6 or 3.5? Thank you
The service manual says 2.6 quarts
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.
Just buy 4 qts to be safe
3 and 1/2 quartz just trying to make sure I get right . When I asked the Honda dealership parts service they said 2 1/2 quartz
3 1/2 quarts is for the V6 engines. The 4 cylinders take 2.6 qts
@@oOgy172 NOPE, I just finished mine, exactly 3.5 quarts to fill my 4 cylinder.

Always a great informative video my friend!
Sorry for a late question - was this a 4cyl engine? Thank you
William McCord yes this is the four-cylinder engine
And what about for v6 models
@@HowtoAutomotive Honda says it's 2.6 quarts for the 4 cyl and 3.5 quarts for the v6
Should you flush it and refill it three times?
retiredguy43 Only if it really bad. I would just drain and fill it if it's just routine maintenance.
Never flush a transmission that is this old. Just drain & fill.

Its 2.6 quarts for the 2.4 motor and 3 and a half quarts for the V6.
@@daniel022209 the car in the video is the 2.4
@@micahcarston678 Which is why it should get 2.6 quarts.
You should have checked the level yourself not trust someone else, you damaged your car was your fault

MayI know how many litter transmission fluid need for Honda Accord 8th gen please
2.6 quarts for 2.4 i4

Is there a filter for transmission fluid?
I saw on another video that Honda only recommends replacing if it is damaged.
Its on top of transmission and easy to get to
How often you should change it ?
Every 50,000
135k and have not changed it... 200k on my other accord and didnt change it either lol
@@j.e.8120just did mines at 75k and it runs smooth as butter lol
I just realized my transmission fluid is low. This is for the 4cyl., rite? Is it the same for the 6 cyl.? Thanks.
the 6 has a fill bolt on top back closer to the windshield...while 4 cylinder has a big enough dipstick opening to allow to fill through that
is the transmission oil pan replaceable? i cracked the drain hole while i was tightening the plug.
