- Experiencing any rough shifting in your 4th Gen Honda Odyssey? If you haven't had your transmission fluid change in the last year then you need to watch this DIY and get it done ASAP. Be sure to watch till the very end for yummy surprise! Thanks for watching!
I drank mine too before watching the end and now I’m dead. Thanks for that. Yes we have internet in Heaven. Hell does too but it’s dial-up.
It’s AOL isn’t it? 😕
Gonna try this! Mine just turned 142K miles. I bought it with 112K. I have never done it and I don't know if it ever got done before. Yikes. Thanks for the tutorial. Peace.
I did three dump and fills at 60k (one dump/fill and drive, another and drive, and the third) and plan to do one dump & fill each consecutive 20k interval (just did the 80k follow-up); what I've heard about these transmissions frequent changes seem a good idea, it's easy enough after all.
thanks for the video. I have a 2011 with 225,000 miles, and I don't think the fluid has ever been changed. Definitely shifting hard at times. I've heard if you've gone this long with no trans fluid change, you should just leave it alone. Does anyone know if that is wise?
To my knowledge it depends on how good the transmission is before you change the fluid. If the transmission is slipping At All,it's best to leave it alone because it's the dirty fluid causing the friction to keep the transmission engaged...so if that fluid is drained/flushed it could actually make it slip even worse. Also a good indication is the condition of the drain plug. I have a 2011 Honda Odyssey with 175,000 miles. I bought it almost 3yrs ago at 138,000 and didn't know if it had been done before. My drain plug didn't have any metal deposits on the drain plug so I knew there wasn't much wear and tear...also there wasn't ANY signs of slipping before I changed the fluid so I was confident that it wouldn't make it worse. Also its probably best to do a drain instead of a flush if there's some concern about the condition of the transmission...just to be on the safe side.
I'm not the most knowledgeable or experienced person on cars but this is my experience with mine. Hope it helped at least a little. Gonna do mine again soon and I'm gonna try Amsoil transmission fluid for the first time. I've been looking at videos and reviews for over a year and have finally built up the confidence.
I am in the same boat as you. Just bought a 2013 with 180K miles. Orig owner was not sure if transmission has been serviced at all. The shifting seems fine to me; going to do a drain and fill perhaps every 10K miles.
There are conflicting information rather to change or not to change. I've read comments from many Odyssey owners; they had success with fluid change on their hi mileage vehicle with no prior service.
anybody willing to drink transmission fluid for his art wins my sub :)
Have you looked at changing the tranny fluid filter? I hear it’s below the battery, looks like it might have a replaceable element.
The 2011 Honda Odyssey does not have a transmission fluid filter, right? Can new oil be added through the oil dipstick?
Is there a way to pop off the return line after you refill with new fluid and purge the system until fluid comes out clean instead of doing the fluid chamge 3 times? Couldn't you pump out one quart at a time with the line disconnected and refill it until clean..?
Good video. Definitely change it every 10,000km because you can really only do 3L at a time and there's about 10L in total. It kinda works out to changing the oil once every 30,000km. I've seen so many of these transmissions grenade and it's easily prevented.
Thanks. Helpful Video...
The 2011 Honda Odyssey does not have a transmission fluid filter, right?
Where did you buy that crush washer? Looking for it online don't know the size and what not.
Wow every other oil change! I do it once a year.
After you had changed the ATF fluid did you have any problems with the transmission did it slip
I can't stand that some mechanics still fonder that theory! If the transmission slips and continues to slip, then it needs to be replaced. Like in the shifts worse afterward in the transmission definitely was already shot.
Yeah I don’t know about doing this every other oil change, seems a bit too often
Only a single drain and fill every other oil change, not a complete triple drain and fill.
I concur.
I think the manual has less frequent interval recommendation
You’d be smart not to follow the manual’s advice in this instance.
@@deasttn manual is every 50k. For as easy as it is and not being expensive, it's a worthy investment to do it yearly.
I have a 2012 Odyssey and I didn't change the fluid since 40k miles and it's now at 104k miles
How much qt did you fill it with? I filled with 4 qt on my first drain-an-fill but I think that’s too much. This time on my 2nd drain I did the same 4 qt but it showed over after 15 miles driving, so I drained out 15 oz. and now shows minimum hot mark, i think after driving for 15 miles will show in between minimum and maximum when the ATF is hot it thins out
OMG! How many miles did your Honda have when you performed the first change? I have two Hondas, a 2006 Ridgeline, and a 2010 Accord V6. I change the tranny fluid every 15000 miles on each and the fluid has never really departed from the pink/red but I still do it. That first batch you removed was disgusting!!!
Thank you for the informative video.
Can we get an update? Did doing this process end up killing your car?
what about the inline transmission filter?
clean your engine please.
Other vehicles transmission temp due to coefficient of expansion is critical in getting the correct level back in. It doesn’t appear that’s such a big deal with Odyssey’s?
Doesn't it have a transmission filter?
mitzvah torah yes! Several! They are micro filters. Located right next to the fill cap. This just takes long arms and an additional 30- 40 minutes to clean and put back. If the tranny is Clunking? This is. Probably the cause
When checking the level from dipstick. Where should it be at?between low and max?
Yes - after the engine is warm and you’ve either driven it or taken it through the gears several times.
How much fluid did you fill it with? I did 3.5 qt but then drove it for a few miles and it showed below the hot low mark, so I added 1/2 qt more and it showed max. This time when I did my 2nd drain an fill I did the same thing but then drove about 15 miles and checked the level and it showed above the maximum hole/mark. So I think the capacity should be 3.5 qt. I drained out about 15/16 ounces so just running through the gears shows its at the minimum hot mark but I think after driving it for 15 miles or so it will show in between the minimum and maximum. It’s about 10*F out here so that’s why just running through the gears will not show the proper level. ATF thins out when its hot way more than motor oil.
Thanks for the Video! Can I ask how many quarts you put in each time? Thanks!
Great video.
I recently did a drain and fill TWO times on my 2014 Honda Odyssey. Its smoother now, and I will do another one after a month.
Thanks John! Time for me to do another now, too. 👍🏻
Got several more Ody vids coming soon, so consider subscribing. 😜
Hey try just bumping into gear for only a second or two. The rest will drain out and you can do it all in one shot ! And save a couple quarts of that oil to boot! And if that tranny's is "Clunking"? There are several micro filters next to the fill plug that will need cleaning. Easy to do just need long arms.
no flush transmission change?
How many milrs does ur odyssey have?
Last part was funny that you drink it. LoL hope no one does that. One quick question. I accidentally put about 1 cup of coolent in my transmission. I havent drove but how do you change the entire 10L transmission at once if possible. Thanks
My results were also good. Before the drain and fill, there was a shudder between 2nd and 3rd. I feared the worse. One drain and fill had great results. The next drain will be with engine oil change. As you said, so easy should have done it sooner.
ThAt back plug is in TIGHT! After, I crank the motor and pop it in gear for 2 seconds and all that shit comes out. F. All that oil change B's. Just do a complete oil change all at once by bumping it into gear for 2 seconds! Save yourself the Hassel and save some cash. Then I made a newspaper funnel and tape it. It's easy. The drain plug by the way has a socket hole in it for your 3/8 ratchet. But you will need a serious breaker or 1/2" drive to pop that fill cap. Don't wait on it! These tranny's are junk so keep it changed! Also there are micro filters right next to the fill hole! If your trany is "Clunking" into gear? Most likely those micro filters are clogging! Just takes long arms and another 30-40 minutes to do the job. Hope this helps some of you.😉
at how miles did you change the fluid coz i have the same 2011 running at 78,000
I thought I heard him say something about buying it used, so his probably has about same mileage as you
Can dis give u code p0741?
Is the Ody still alive?
Lol, nice ending. What trans fluid brand did you use?
The crush washers are like 20¢. No reason not to change them.
How many quarts does it take?
Seems way too often. I believe my owners manual says change every 60k? Too often never hurt anyone though. I'm about to go check the color on my 2012 odyssey elite!
The owner's manual also says to check transmission fluid frequently if you look into the maintenance service book that came with the van, almost every page says "check transmission fluid frequently".
😂 you had me when you drank it
Dealer said is 3.5 quart !
Lolzzzzz
We had a 2008 that had the trans fluid changed at the dealer every 60k, also had the recall to reprogram the trans shifts. It still had routine clunks, coasting and downshifting below 30mph and would feel like it was pulsing or thrusting at 65mph when going uphill loaded. It eventually got rear ended at 156k miles and replaced with a 45k mile 2010. I don't fool around any more and have it down to now drain and refill 1 gallon of Maxlife at every oil change, so maybe 3-4 times a year at $17 per gallon. Pretty cheap and easy to keep it clean and shifting perfectly, and for these years the internal filter cannot be replaced.
Delete the vcm! Watch every time before the Eco light comes on the the jerk is coming. Lol
@@yodead369 my VCM has been ordered. Waiting for it to arrive.
@@ozarkliving7263 What did you buy? Tunner2 or something else? I looking for the one that you can activate eco (VCM) with relay. (I only want it one for interstate driving)
Good video! You can refill the transmission fluid from the transmission dipstick housing. Save you some trouble.
h46ycl that’s how I do it, I can’t get the atf full bolt off to save my life
obadiah7771 use a 1/2" socket set up. That mofo is super tight! Then make a newspaper funnel tape it to secure the diameter and it's a piece of pie! If the trany is Clunking ? There are several micro filters right next to the fill plug. 30-40 more minutes and those can be cleaned and reinstalled. Tremendous help as these are the worst tranny's Honda ever made. So take care of it. Hope this helps.
mine is a 2011 Honda Odyssey Turing Elite, can I fill up transmission fluid through dipstick hole?
Yes
Dude that's way harder. Just go buy a half inch drive long handle ratchet and socket set a long extension and get after it! Harbor freight You can make a dam funnel out of a newspaper just tape it so it don't unravel. But when you drain the oil, start the car. Bump it into gear for 2 seconds! Then shut it off! You can't do a complete oil change in just one shot!
How has it been acting since the change? How many miles were on it when you changed it? How many miles are on it now?
I thought I heard him say something about buying it used. I think it's a 5 year old van, so it probably had 60k to 70k miles in it?
Amsoil ATF man
no way. use Honda only
Great video however I disagree about the Honda DW1. I've used valvoline synthetic on my CRV for the past 190,000 miles and is smooth as butter. I change it every 50k and never use Honda DW1. Never had a transmission issue. I even tow a trailer now and then. I currently have 248,000 miles on my CRV and going strong.
@@gregs_garage dw1 is absolute trash. It literally catches on fire at 330°. It's a joke it has killed thousands of transmissions
@@johnsteele8073 makes no sense. Why would honda produce trash?
@@gregs_garage Because they dont produce Dw1 they just buy from the cheapest bidder to their minimum specs. When a tranny has great OEM fluid and never fails people experiment with aftermarket fluids but when the OEM fluid is terrible and shears down and oxidizes rapidly killing transmissions people insist on ONLY USING the poor quality fluid that has killed to so many transmissions. Seems crazy to me. I own a 2015 Odyssey I bought brand new and I tow my RV with it (9000 lb combined). I have 140,000 miles now and it still shifts perfectly. As all my family friends and many customers use AMSOIL atf in their hondas and acuras never a proplem. Also using a true 100% synthetic oil staves off all these oil consumption and vcm issues we hear so much about from "dealer maintained" vcm equipped Hondas. Not an issue with amsoil users.
