Honda Civic Automatic Transmission Fluid Service 2006 EX (2006-2011 Similar) (Drain and Fill)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- In this video I show you how I change the automatic transmission fluid on a Honda Civic 2006 (drain and fill). The exact vehicle is a 2006 Honda Civic EX with an automatic transmission. Doing this procedure every 30, 000 miles can really help keep a Honda transmission in good working order.
Civics with manual transmissions or CVTs will have a different procedure than the one shown on this video.

Many Thanks to you I'm a single mom doing this parenting thing solo. I want to give you major props for taking the time to show me this. :) $$$$ saving
Glad it helped you out!
@@YD-uq5fi did you know that child support is money used for the kids. Do you know how much it costs to raise a kid. In most cases, the mother is not just pocketing the cash... Yes some do... But kind of bold and rude to assume that about someone you don't know. Who hurt you? 😂
@@YD-uq5fi i agree man. The whole "Im a single mom..." is getting old. No one cares or wants to hear that shit.
@@YD-uq5fi..and you know this how? Sounds like to me that you are a deadbeat dad..even if she was receiving any kind of payment from the father it doesn't come close to the actual cost of raising a child..
@@YD-uq5fi..ya that's funny. What would you know about anything in life. You probably still live with your mommy and I wouldn't be surprised if you still wet your bed.
Thank you. Done and explained professionally. No talking about unrelated subjects. No laud music in the background. All together great video
Thanks!
I purchased a Honda civic 2010. Odometer was about 79,000. I drive an insane amount to work. I really need to start getting things like this done, as I have no car maintenance history at all. I can do this myself, as I have the tools. This video will help me for sure.
this has been a very detailed tutorial. I could see you really know your Honda and take good care of your car. You deserve to be the #1 search when looking for this specific topic. Really insightful video that doesn't miss a step!
Bahamiantoons Thanks!
Wondering if you’ll see this all these years later to answer. What’s the difference between a transmission flush and a change?
Gave me the confidence to do it myself took all of 30 minute do.Car feels so tight an smooth shifting now.Great video.
Nice!
Which fluid did you use?
One of the most thorough yet quick videos I've seen for working on the civic. Most videos people are annoying with guys blabbing on, talking to themselves slowly and it takes forever etc. Nicely done. Thanks.
I agree
So clean, to the point, no bs! Nice job man great video!
Happy you mentioned jack stands. I had friends who lost legs and nearly killed by having cars fall on them.
Please explain to the viewers how to dump their fluid safely at the local oil shops.
Nice video! 👍
I am doing this tomorrow on my 2010 Civic. This was the perfect video to make sure I do it correctly. Thank you!
Awesome video, very helpful :) I really like the quote you said ( if you don't have a torque wrench, use your mind not your muscle) and that's what I do all the time :D
how do you keep the engine bay so clean? I'm scared to clean the engine...thanks for the video bro.
I work at a dealership and we just hose down the engine bay with the engine cold and I've never seen a problem.
That's because you dont know what your doing if your scared to rinse the engine bay. Leave it running and use a blow gun to get off the excess water buy the coil packs or anything electrical
Heeey I did what you told me i called Fernandez Honda dealership and asked them what kind of transmission oil I needed for my 2010 Honda Civic and he asked me for VIN number and he told me I needed the DW1 like the one you show on your video and like you said I didn't have a CVT transmission like i thought i did lol :-)
And you video was excellent !!! 😀👍
Honda makes models with different transmissions, some have a conventional automatic transmission (like in this video) and some have Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVTs). Most newer Honda now have CVTs. That being said, I am not aware of any 2010 Civics (in the US) that have CVT transmissions. Don't take my word for it, go to a Honda dealer parts department with the VIN and they can tell you what it needs.
@@BigDog50001
Heeey my password for my gmail is bigdog18 lol 👊😀
I did have a 2003 Honda Civic hybrid and when I went to AutoZone he told me I had a CVT transmission and gave me the oil I needed but now on my 2010 Honda Civic I want to put the oil that is recommended like the Honda genuine oil and now you have me thinking what kind of transmission I have 🤔 I just assumed it was a CVT transmission so thanks for the advice I will go to the Honda dealership and they will give me the recommended oil for my car and I'll find out what kind of transmission I have lol :-)
Wow. Can't believe I paid $100 once for a transmission service when this was all that needed to be done. Doing that and oil changes at home now. Cheers for the video bud!
Thanks!
You actually did well if that's all they charged, most garages charge twice that.
you are so good, precise, to the point, clear, even clean :) thanks so much!
Thank you for the comment!
Great detail, step by step. Absolutely excellent presentation. Thank you so much. Ron

Great video just did my 06 honda civic today took me 20mins 👍👍👍
👍
This is a great tutorial. I can tell that you're an excellent mechanic. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for showing us we’re the transmission stick was being a single parent showing my 17 year old how to maintain his 09 Honda Civic ex coupe
Glad it helped!
Just some friendly advice: Never go under you car without Jack stands and another very important thing: Always have some one with you when working under a vehicle. For some reason the jack stands fail your partner can get the jack and get you out of there.
D A E Thanks for the comment.
D A E simple but excellent advice. Wont be doing this solo as I had planned doing tomorrow.
I have my dog which is highly trained on CPR .

Great video, concise. Very easy job. I agree with doing this every 30,000 miles. My mom gave me her 2008 Honda Civic with 78,000 miles, which is low mileage for a car that age. I just changed the transmission fluid today (it had never been changed before), and fluid was a grayish brown, instead of red. Was a fair amount of metal sludge on the drain plug magnet as well. I'm going to do one or two more drain and fills in the next few weeks to 'catch it up' and have nice, red transmission fluid.
Wow. A Civic with only 78,000 miles. Geesh, that's no mileage for a Honda. I'm getting a friend of mines Civic in about an month with 163,000 miles. Drives really nice and sounds great.
Did you notice a difference with all the changes?
Just got my grandmas 2008 honda civic and only has 65k miles
I did two more drain and fills shortly after my first comment. The transmission fluid is a nice cherry red. Now I only have to do one change every 30K.
Ty for this straight forward informative video!
Excellent video, very clear and logical.
This was exactly what I needed to save some $$$ thanks for the help
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
Find the transmission line that leaves cooler or radiator and take it loose and put it in bucket, start car and run while you add fluid, when fluid clears up running in bucket, shut engine off check fluid and add if needed. Your done and all fluid is new, not 2 1/2 new and 4 quarts old mixed together
Oooh it just turns my crank when I get hot trans fluid ALLLLL over me! Mmmm hmmm 😂🤣😂👍🏽 thanks again for this great video!
👍
Oh, one more thing... The transmission filter is under the air box, should change that too. It's easy.
Thanks for stopping by.
That according to the manual is non serviceable meaning in order to do that you must open the transmission.
idiot
You also need to change your transmission fluid filter, it's external. Under the air cleaner assembly...
That looks easy and I would do it myself if the property management would allow tenants to perform small repairs. Oh well, I might do it at work if I can get a jack over there.👍🏾
"Don't get under a vehicle without jackstands under it." YES. Also, as a backup measure, I keep my floor jack in place just in case their is a failure with one or more jackstands. Never know.
Never a bad idea to have a backup, thanks for the input!
I always have spare tires and rims at my house so I put one one each side next to the jack stands
Appreciate the video. I am wondering though when looking at another video, and looking at yours. The other guy lifted the car to just loosen the plug, then let the car run until the fan turned on. After that he lifted the car up and drained the oil, is the similar aspect of you running the car for 60 seconds before seeing if the fill line is correct? I didn't see much difference in what you both did, seems straightforward. We all appreciate your help, you know how it is as you're saving us $150 per comment on this post.. Great job man, Please don't forget to answer this. Thank you
Helping me save a couple bucks. Thanks you !
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
Big Dog50001 Automotive Great video! Very clear and straight to the point! Helped my boyfriend change my transmission fluid for me =) Where did you get your breaker bar?? All I find for the 3/8 socket are pretty short or less than a foot long. Thanks in advance!
The one I used in this video is from Harbor Freight. goo.gl/osFeGQ
Great! Thanks for responding!
Great video. Thanks!
I appreciate the comment, thank you!
Thank you for the video!
Thanks for the comment!
The real fun is changing the filter for the transmission fluid..
Did it last week for my girl..
The plastic cowel under the window has to come out...
And if you got big hands like I do...
Good times
Many thanks 🙏👍
Most excellent! Some points you might try. Keep and mark ounce levels on some old plastic juice jugs for using. Drain out into one. Put a mark on jug. I use a piece of painters tape. Drain that into another jug and refill with new ATF right to the mark. That way you’re assured of putting in exactly what came out without measuring anything. This approach works great for other car fluids too. These jugs drain overnight almost completely then just a little gasoline in them to clean them up for next time. Mine took 85 ounces or 2.65 quarts. Great video
well that was easy did all the fluids on car same way power steering , brakes , transmission and antifreeze before my daughter goes off for a year with car 1200 miles away hopefully it helps with the long drive on old car with 150.000 miles on it 14 years old now
👍
an after the job is done -have a cold one /thanks much
You are the Man!! I change my own motor oil on my 2010 civic. Love the civic easy to work on.
Hello bro...hope ur fine ...can u make video on how to clean catalytic converter of Honda civic 2006-10 model...easy nd best way... waiting for ur videos
curious how come you didn't change the transmission filter. Great vid thanks
Thank you
Great video, simple and easy to follow! Thanks for posting!
Thanks for the comment!
Thank U so very Much . Step By Step Great
Thank you, I appreciate the comment!
Great video, just one question I thought we need to check the level with the car idle at full warn up temperature not with the engine off 🤷♂️
No, Hondas like these should be checked 60-90 seconds after shutting off engine.
It's necessary to buy the original version of the fluid?
I recommend using genuine Honda fluid.
You can use Idemitsu H Plus,
Its the same atf fluid, DW1
As long as its DW1 atf fluid its good for honda.
I use it on my civic, and the transmission shifts great.
I can barely read your hand writing with washer's type number on your plastic bag, will u plz put that again under my comment plz Bid dog50001 Auto motive? I do really appreciate it!!
Thanks for the vid. Very clear and concise. I’ve read to do a full flush we need to 3 drain and refill to try to “completely” replace the fluids. Your thoughts on this?
Thank you for the comment. Yes, three drain and fills would be the Honda recommended procedure for replacing all of the automatic transmission fluid. You usually only need to do this if the vehicle has not been regularly maintained.
Big Dog50001 Automotive So if you change 2.5 qts say every 15000 miles that would be effective or over kill? How about every 30k?
Richard from GB..
Good day to you .
Thinking of purchasing again a honda civic .
Any issues I should look out for or be concerned about
on a 2007 CIVIC 1.8Automatic 70000 miles on the clock?
Thanks
Thank you very much !!! VERY VERY appreciated its really easy to understand the way you demonstrate , thank you ! thank you !
ritche de jesus Thanks!
changing the transmission filter how many quarts of oil does the 2008 civic sedan take with automatic transmission, 6 or 7.
Thanks.
So do I really need 2.5 quarts? I have never changed it before but on other trans fluid drain and fill videos it says only about 1/3 of the old fluid actually drains out?
If you never changed the oil, oil filter must be changed too. And, from filter pipe, you can flush more oil.
Hi, what is the meaning of the fluid level be over the dash level? Is that runing hot? Do I need to add fluid?
Wear 9 mil gloves to protect your hands
This gets a lil less than half the fluid out. My Civic I bought recently was neglected. I wanted all the fluid out. You do this process 4 times. I drove the car and used it for work in between each time. Basically mixing the old and new. Only way to safely flush out a Honda Transmission. I learned this after researching and reading a couple good threads on the 8th gen forums.
Thanks for the input!
Thanks a lot for this video. I've been facing jerks issues while gears change on automatic transmission. Do you happen to know anything about that? It seems similar to the gear oil since the dealer who changed the oil for me two weeks ago, didn't use Honda oil, so I suppose that could be a problem?
I have recently bought Honda Civic Reborn 2nd hand, so didn't know about any of this stuff, now that I'm facing the problem, I've come across your video. it helped a lot!
Hard to say from your description but if you are talking about ENGINE OIL, then you can use any good quality motor oil (that is the proper viscosity), it doesn't have to be Honda branded motor oil. Changing your engine oil shouldn't cause hard shifting.
If you are talking about AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF), I would not use anything but Honda ATF DW1 for a Honda automatic transmission (non CVT). If other fluid was used, I would do 3 drain and fills to get it out.
You may have other issues going on in your transmission and might want to have a pro take a look at it.
I read 3 articles on how to check the tranny fluid and all three are different. 1) engine running while hot 2) engine off cold 3) engine hot and off between 60-90 seconds after engine is turned off... you people are driving me crazy!
Someone said In automatic transmission 2.4 liters is used. My mechanic put 3 liters in it. In hot car the gauge is on the higher side , should I remove extra oil or is it alright?
Great video
BADD400 CB700 drums Thanks!
When u say "pull the chucks from your wheels" at 6:26, what do u mean?
Thank you for reminding everyyy body how imp. it is not to just toss it out to the landfill.
Thank you. I pulled the wheel chocks (just off camera), the same ones I put behind the rear tires at 1:04. They help prevent the vehicle from rolling when you jack it up.
Have to disagree about the tranny fluid. I'll pay more and use amsoil. Way better protection and performance. Otherwise a great video.
Should I start this process 1st thing in the morning or can I go grab stuff to get it to operating temperature then change?
It should be at operating temperature.
@@BigDog50001 thank you
yes very easy to do thanks, the only problem is i dont have a torque wrench but should that matter?
$20 at harbor freight. If you dont have one. Just make us moderately-lightly tight. Snug. Not too tight.
If we change transmission fluid filter then how much fluid is required for the car?
That's what I wanted to know... where does it go
Wow, this looks easier than I thought! Is it worth it to buy a torque wrench? Is there a danger of over/under tightening it?
I would use a torque wrench, a cheap one at Harbor Freight will do the job.
Great video! One question, does the amount you jack the front end up impact the amount of transmission fluid that drains out? Would it perhaps drain a higher or lesser amount if you had it on a lift and not jacked out?
Sometimes it can make a slight difference, I have tried it both ways and the difference is pretty negligible. That being said, I don't recommend jacking it up higher than necessary to do the job. Thanks for the comment!
I bought a used Honda with 140 and I don’t know if it was ever done it now has 180k miles on it do you think I should change it or is it too late and I should leave it be
Honda charges like $120 for this, takes 5 mins, about 3 qts comes out. I measured what came out.
Great video but I have question. Mine is an LX. Would the amount of transmission fluid be a different amount or would it be about the same? Thanks.
Same.
Does the car need to be leveled while draining, so everything can come out?
It won't all come out due to the design, but it is best to drain as level as possible.
Is there a trans filter?
thank you
very informative sir! love your videos, im learning alot. can you do a video on differential fluid change on your honda?i have the same car.. thank you..
👍
does the 1.8L non-hybrid models has cvt or planetary gear?
How often do you change the AT filter?
Great video, but aren't you supposed to check the fluid with it at temperature like you show but also with the engine running?
No, you don't check Honda transmission fluid with the vehicle running (this is where Honda differs from many other manufacturers).
@@BigDog50001 Ok , I replaced both CV axles on my sons 2007 Civic and it lost some fluid. I need to top it off and plan on performing a drain and fill, so good to know this. Thanks for the info.
Do I need to change transmission filter?
Need to? Probably not.
Can it be changed? Yes.
Wise man
Use ur mind not muscles
Ok people. When working with cars 👍
Thank you
👍
Doing my first trans change on this generation civic. Doing 09. I specifically looked for your vid and badda bing this came up. When I do trans changes I’ve been draining into a 5 quart bucket with measurements on the side so I know how much to refill as a start and sanity check. I’m still laughing because yup my drain came up to 2.5 quarts exactly !!! Soooooo appreciate your vids and yes I remembered to take out the drain bucket before lowering. I’m sure you put the extra don’t forget guys message in because you forgot and heard the ooops I forgot crunch plastic sound of pain.
Thank you very much. I watched other videos and yours was the most complete. I will change the transmission fluid right now.
What seemed like an easy job turned into a nightmare. The inside housing where the threads are at cracked. I’m stuck idk what to do
That doesn't sound good, sound like something may have been overtightened at some point.
Did the threads came off with the drain bolt or is there a hair crack by the bolt?
Thank you by you time and share this video, une cuestión, do I need replace transmisión oil filter or is not necessary?
I made a video on it. ruclips.net/video/0o4lh9_AyG0/видео.html
Please how many quartz of trans fluid will a 2009 Honda accord with 2.0l engine( K20 engine) take for fluid change
Drain and fill is 2.6 quarts on the 2.4 L engine
Great video. I want to try this on my 2005 Honda Accord. Do you think a Harbor Freight 1.5 ton floor jack is big enough? Do you just use the lowest position on the jack stands? Thanks your channel is great.
Paul Laws Thank you. Harbor Freight jacks are pretty good, shouldn't be an issue. I set my jack stands on the first or second position when doing these. It needs to be high enough to get a ratchet in there but low enough to drain properly.
Would you recommend changing on a high mileage '09 Civic with no history of it ever being changed.
Mine doesn't have a dipstick, but it's a manual transmission, assuming that's why.
Should I be flushing out the fluid?
Dont want to sound dumb, Honda does not require the car to be running when checking fluid?
No, you don't check Honda ATF with engine running.
I always replace transmission fluid myself every 60k-70k miles!
Second time replace will be 120-140k keep for another 2-3yrs
After that sold the car. Haha.
Thank you very much. So thorough and easy to follow.
Just today I noticed my car was no switching gears properly. So I checked the moto and transmission and turns out I was empty on the transmission fluid. Here I’m hoping the motor has not been damaged.
how can I drain the oil from the turbine?
Putting automatic fluid in a cvt transmission??? Is this same???
Goodyear recently did an exchange fluid for me on the transmission of my 2012 Honda Accord. About 5,000 miles later, I am now noticing a horrible vibration coming from under my front car seat and steering wheel. It happens at different mph. Not to mention, I am noticing the car is not changing gears properly. Goodyear said they put Honda fluid in the car, but how does one know for sure? I am hoping they did not screw up my transmission.
The Honda manual says only Z1 and I researched DW-1 is much thinner and back compatible with Z1, how often do you change it, and did DW-1 get better fuel efficiency?
