2012 Odyssey... It all started with watching your front pad video. Since then it's rolled to this transmission fluid change, an oil change, servicing my wife's 2016 Fit, and giving me the confidence to work on my old 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee! Thank you for your confidence inspiring well explained postings! You are awesome!
FYi for honda owners The ATF DW1 is made by Idemitsu. Genuine honda oil is made by Philip66. Genuine honda coolant is made by prestone. Genuine honda brake fluid is made by CCI Manufacturing. Genuine honda oil filter is made by Fram.
Great tip on the tube from Home Depot to make that funnel access easy, without that you need to fool around with the airbox, your method is more flexible and requires less tear down. GREAT VIDEO
Thanks Dial2Fast! This is my third video of yours. I can now easily change the two filters and the transmission fluid. Good audio and you show the points of interest with light. Seems like a small thing, but it's a big thing. Really appreciate your videos!!
Kathy Barbieri It's always nice to get feedback from people who appreciate the effort that goes into making a good video. I am glad my videos have helped you. Thanks!
So that's maybe three of these atf quarts then? If it's 3.3 USqt.. how many of these containers do I need to top it off. Lmk please. Thanks. Please reply to me ASAP I need to do mines soon.
If you want affordable, first 2 places come to mind is Sears and also Harbor Freight (if there is one near you). I have both 1/2" and 3/8" which I purchased at Canadian Tire store in Canada many years back. I also have 1/2" and 3/8" from Harbor Freight. All work fine. Main thing is to take care of it and don't drop it.
Yes the ATF isn't too old, but that's why I can do 1 drain and fill. If you wait too long then you really need to do 3 drain and fills which equates to almost a complete flush.
dial2fast would you say every other oils change and drop the transmission oil as well? I like no e clear like yours. Might as well since we are there anyways.
Do you think that we can do 3 drain and fills to any car to perform almost a complete flush? I want to do it to a Toyota Tundra. On a you tube video they disconnect a cooler hose, they do something on the computer sistem....etc. At the end they had to turn off the checking engine... Too much!
Mine has 230K miles on it. It think it's time for a change lol. The D is flashing but the car seems to drive fine other than that D flashing. Thanks for the video!
I highly doubt the ATF DW1 is the culprit here. If there is a long period where the ATF fluid was not changed out, some damage may have already been done. Putting in new fluid that has more lubricating properties may reveal the issue. You should get it checked out by a transmission shop.
Thanks for the video. Just a bit about changing the oil intervals. I bought my 2005 Odyssey used with 73000 miles. Have no idea if and when they changed the oil but I now have 200000 miles on it and have never changed the trani oil and it still works perfect. Not suggesting not to change the oil to everyone just don't panic about the exact number of miles.
Yeah, I was in the same boat as you. Bought my 2005 when it had almost the same mileage. Was young and dumb and never thought to check the fluid. By the time I did, at about 120k it was black as sin. I knew (or thought) I screwed up, but knew it was best to leave it. Just sold the van a few days ago with 235k on it. Still drives and shifts great. Not that I'm recommending never servicing your tranny, but if you neglect it like I did early on, might as well ride that baby into the sunset!
Gracias por el video, muy demostrativo. ¿Cuál es el torque que se debe aplicar al tornillo que se quita para drenar el aceite de transmisión? Y ¿Cuál es el torque de apriete del tornillo donde se coloca el aceite de transmisión? Saludos
Just an FYI, I believe that transmission holds vacuum so no matter how many times you open that 17mm fill bolt, it’s going to be hard and “pop”. Best to open it when drain plug is off I assume but I’m no mechanic.
Haven't changed the transmission fluid in my mom's 2007 Odyssey. It has over 95,000 miles so it's definitely worth changing the fluid. For some reason, the color of the existing fluid is a nice dark red. Maybe the dealer did change it. Still, definitely time to change it.
I can't imagine a more perfect instructional video. You must be a tiny, tiny person to be able to crawl under your Odyssey without jacking it up or running it up a ramp. Such skinniness is long ago in my past. And how much ATF did come out? It sure looked like more than 3.3 quarts. I believe the transmission holds about 10 quarts. I wonder if I ran the driver's side wheels up a ramp if that would tilt the transmission enough to allow even more fluid to come out? I'll have to give that a try in a couple days when I do the job.
The Odyssey in the video is up on drive-on ramps. I bought a pair from Harbor Freight. I have the same question, if the Ody front end is raised w/ rear on ground, does this influence quantity (less of a complete pan drain) of fluid drained?
@@gkorenek With front tires on ramps and rear tires on the ground that may be the ONLY way you can reach the drain plugs. I just did the engine oil drain and filter replacement which is all near to the transmission drain plug. It was kind of roomy with the front tires up on the ramps. Without ramps it would be a tight fit. You'd need to be real skinny with long arms.
@@STBRetired1 Yes! I'm going to do the AT fluid "drain and fill" with the drive-on ramps at the front. I'm going to use Valvoline Max Life AT fluid. Also would use ramps to do oil change too. I've been using local oil change services (Jiffy Lube, Honda Dealership, etc.) for engine oil and filter changes, and mechanic shop & Honda dealership for ATF fluid drain and fill. I want to start doing the ATF fluid service myself to save some $$. I have the AT drain plug crush washers on order, when they come in (soon) I'm going to do the service myself as in the video. Also need to put together the funnel with tubing to reach the fill plug. Bought a torque wrench as in the video too just to get all the plugs back in and torqued to specs!
@@gkorenek I was all set to do the transmission fluid drain and went over to WalMart to get some Valvoline MaxLife. The website said they had it in stock but the shelves were empty. I was not a happy camper. I checked with Advance Auto and AutoZone and they want $ 10 more PER gallon. So, I ordered it online at WalMart and will have it delivered in two days - right when the rain starts.
@@STBRetired1 I in Walmart, I had to really look for the MaxLife ATF, there were only 3 "jugs" (gallon containers) of it hiding amongst many jugs of motor oil. I checked Walmart price vs Amazon price, was the same. So I went home with a jug. At Walmart I also purchased the oil (fluid) catch drain container, where you can easily pour out the captured fluid into another container for recycling.
Each time you drain it, 60% of the old fluids remains. So the first change leaves 60%; the second change leaves 60% of 60% = 36%; third change leaves 60% of 36% = 21.6%; fourth change leaves 60% of 21.6% = 12.96% ; then 7.8% ; then 4.7%; then 2.8%; 1.7%; 1.0% remains after 9th fluid drain fill...
The filter is deep inside the transmission and is not reachable without taking out the engine AND transmission and then taking apart the transmission. Instead, Honda just wants you to "frequently" change the fluid so the filter doesn't get clogged up.
I remove the drain plug take out 4 plus quarts put back what I took out c (Castro trans mix) fill up by the dip stick hole all good. Been doing it for years. Do that every year till it's nice and rose color then I stop....only do this for friends and family.
Hi there... congrats; nice and clear video! I have a doubt; does this Tranny has any kind of filter? I've been looking for it on the Internet and it seems that there is a cylindrical one but I'm not pretty sure if it really needs to be changed or not and where it is located. Thanks in advance for your insights!
dial2fast Thanks for your promp answer... I just had the chance to read an official Honda blog and they said that from 2007 to 2010, Odyssey's transmission was changed and the new Tranny has a non serviceable filter inside its body.
Tip to avoid regret: Before removing fill bolt, jam cloths around the area in case you drop the bolt. Dropped mine and never found it again! Had to buy from dealer.
Great Job on explaining this process but when I changed the trans fluid on 7/6/14 she took all four quarts on my 2009 Honda odyssey not the 3.3 as you explained
Thankyou for uploading this video. I have a 2006 Honda Elysion here in the UK, and have had a slight whirring noise from gear box. I know the oddysey and elysion are quite similar. Would the ATF be suitable for my car? I cant find a user manual for my car in english translation either. 👍🇬🇧
You should contact your Honda dealers parts department and ask them the proper fluid to use for your Honda car. They will tell you even if you don't have then service it.
Hi, great video, but had a few questions - do u replace the atf filler washer also and if so, is it the same washer part as the drain bolt washer? Also should u shift the tran gears for 30 sec each after the fill and should it be on level ground? Thanks
on most hondas including accords its the same thing, drain from bottom 3/8th bolt, put bolt back on. refill atf about 3.3 quarts, done. you saved about $60. buy atf from walmart, dw1 is a ripoff. valvoline maxlife or redline d6 or d4 or amsoil multi vehicle premium designed to be 5-10x better than oem atf. maxlife is only $5 quart if your walmart has it, o'reilly's has a 1 gallon one for $26
Thank you for making this video. I have a 2012 Honda Odyssey, is the process very similar or are there any changes on draining and refilling the transmission fluid?
dial2fast Hi, i have a 2012 too and i see the same fill bolt below the brake fluid that is labeled "ATF" ... does that mean i can just remove that like your video and fill from there? looks pretty similar. just want to confirm before i do it and no one has made a video for the 2011- present yet. thanks!
Great video. I am guessing you could fill as well through dipstick hole too? May not fill as fast but same end result? You don't have to have that big extension either.
I just did another service last week, and looking at that dip stick hole, it's very small, and it will take so much more time to go that route. But yes, you can fill it that way if you want.
I just did a drain and Fill for my Honda odyssey 2007 and it come out 4Qt, I out 4Qt back in and when I check my Transmission dipstick level with engine on I can see that is to much into the transmission ! But when I check the dipstick with engine off i see it to the perfect level is that how is supposed to be ? Thanks
Thank you for taking the time to make and share this video. Quite helpful indeed! Could you offer a recommendation on an affordable torque wrench by any chance, or even the name of the one you use. I'd really like one that clicks at the set torque if possible. Thank you again!
I believe the fluid level must be checked with the #Odyssey in P Park, at operating temperature and idling. If you check when the car is off you will not see the correct level. Also, when pulling up the dipstick, look at both sides of it, one side may be very clear where the level is and the other side may look spotty and vague and overfill 💪 Awesome video
According to the owner's manual that came with my 2010 Honda Odyssey it says to warm up the transmission and engine and then shut the engine off. Wait at least 60 seconds but no longer than 90 seconds to check the transmission fluid with the engine off and the vehicle in park.
have problem with my 07 Touring right now, the van drives smooth and drives top condition but just this evening when i parked at my garage, the "check transmission" light is on and after that i moved the car forward and that light went off but the "D" light is blinking and i have a check engine light on, will ti solve after i change the ATF? mi really concerned coz i just recently bought this van, but to me it run really just fine.. its just i had this light on bilinking.thanks
You can try a fluid change and remove the battery terminal to reset the system, but if it comes back, you may have a bad sensor, or worse is a failing transmission.
Thanks Master. Should be the same part for the 2005 - 2007 ODY Actually most of the 2008-2010 parts are compatible. Even the lower control arms and the front grill replacing the front bumper and hood. I'll order the front bumper and hood ti change the front look of my 2006 since the main headlights are the same. Also I'm looking forward to install Honda Pilot brake rotors on my ody since they are larger but I'll need to replace the break calipers as well. The guys at Honda Birmingham Alabama advised this: The ody is a nice ride so long you know which mods to do on it.
+David Lezette You will need a socket wrench set. An extension and possibly a long handle breaker bar for the fill bolt. Funnel with a hose, car ramps, oil catch pan, and a work light or flash light. That should do it.
I believe these are the parts, but check with our dealer. Honda Part: bolt, plug (18mm) Part Number: 90081-PX4-003 Honda Part: washer, drain plug (18mm) Part Number: 90471-PX4-000
I have done it with the dip stick method but considering buying an extension next time. What size extension would be ideal to get down to the ATF bolt?
I believe the filter in these Honda transmissions is not accessible. They are buried deep in the transmission and would require taking out the engine AND transmission to take the tranny apart to get at the filter. That's probably why they want you to do frequent fluid changes.
2012 Odyssey... It all started with watching your front pad video.

Very well done, keep up the great wok.
I like that you didnt leave out any details.
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. Changed oil and Trans in my 2007 today.
Mike
Very good to hear you got yours done
+dial2fast We just bought a camp trailer and I had just put on the oil cooler so thought I would change the trans fluid.
Thanks Again , Mike
Very nice video, thanks. The hammer trick on the drain plug worked perfectly. I have paid for the first two times I’ve had it changed, but never again
I have a 2008 odyssey. How much did they charge you at the dealership?
Michael Lewis Going rate in the NY metro burbs is about $100. or so at the dealer.
Awesome video. Thanks for the very clear pointer to the fluid plug and the torque measurements!
Thanks Dial2Fast! This is my third video of yours. I can now easily change the two filters and the transmission fluid. Good audio and you show the points of interest with light. Seems like a small thing, but it's a big thing. Really appreciate your videos!!
Kathy Barbieri It's always nice to get feedback from people who appreciate the effort that goes into making a good video. I am glad my videos have helped you. Thanks!
Kathy Barbieri how many quarts I need for chance the automatic fluid transmission.
According to the Honda Service Manual, an ATF fluid change requires 3.3 US qt.
I found ALLDATA says "3.1 L, 3.3 qt at change. 7.1 L, 8.0 qt at overhaul."
I guess if you put extra 0.1-0.2 quart is no harm !
So that's maybe three of these atf quarts then? If it's 3.3 USqt.. how many of these containers do I need to top it off. Lmk please. Thanks. Please reply to me ASAP I need to do mines soon.
Thx that's what I need to know
Great Video short and sweet, straight to the point!
Thanx!
Thank you for your comment!
Yes, this is not a complete drain but you can also do 3 drains which equates to about a full drain and fill
I have a 2006 ex-l with 130k miles, would you recommend doing the change to it? I bought it used but no record of anything done to it. TIA
This video was on point to a job that I will be doing soon. Thanks for the time and effort that it took to educate the rest of us.
Thanks for your comment.
Word to the wise, be sure to unscrew the filler plug FIRST. Never unplug the drain plug first.
Thanks man, u make it look so easy, great instructional video for DY.
If you want affordable, first 2 places come to mind is Sears and also Harbor Freight (if there is one near you). I have both 1/2" and 3/8" which I purchased at Canadian Tire store in Canada many years back. I also have 1/2" and 3/8" from Harbor Freight. All work fine.

@@cardo1111 yessir lol
Great video... just made my day a little easier.
Thank you!
A simple drain and fill is 3.3 quart. Check the fluid level with the car on a level surface.
I don't own a Honda, but your videos are greats.
Thank you!!
Mine has 230K miles on it. It think it's time for a change lol. The D is flashing but the car seems to drive fine other than that D flashing. Thanks for the video!
Very straightforward video ❤
Beautiful breaker bar on the fill plug
That ATF looks clean enough to go another 10, 000 miles.
That fluid is still good. Nice and red
Great video. Try using Amsoil signature series ATF and you'll notice a way better running transmission
is there a specific number
AMSOIL saved my 04 Odyssey. Cant say enough about it.
I highly doubt the ATF DW1 is the culprit here. If there is a long period where the ATF fluid was not changed out, some damage may have already been done. Putting in new fluid that has more lubricating properties may reveal the issue. You should get it checked out by a transmission shop.
Great video - I'm going to tackle this next week. How much ATF did you have to put in? Just one quart or more?
Thanks! The video was very helpful--thanks for the tips about the breaker bar--it was really needed for the first time changing the fluid.
Great video! Thanks!

Well explained and informative video thanks a lot, sure u helped me and others keep up the great work
Very helpful video. Thank you!
A drain/refill will change only 40%, so I would repeat it in a week after the first change in order to replace about 70% actually.
Actually the Honda fluid is so high priced.
That'll replace closer to 64%
Each time you drain it, 60% of the old fluids remains. So the first change leaves 60%; the second change leaves 60% of 60% = 36%; third change leaves 60% of 36% = 21.6%; fourth change leaves 60% of 21.6% = 12.96% ; then 7.8% ; then 4.7%; then 2.8%; 1.7%; 1.0% remains after 9th fluid drain fill...
Nicely done. Thanks for posting.
great video, very clear. Thanks!
Sir, you are not going to change transmission oil filter?
The filter is deep inside the transmission and is not reachable without taking out the engine AND transmission and then taking apart the transmission. Instead, Honda just wants you to "frequently" change the fluid so the filter doesn't get clogged up.
I remove the drain plug take out 4 plus quarts put back what I took out c
(Castro trans mix) fill up by the dip stick hole all good. Been doing it for years. Do that every year till it's nice and rose color then I stop....only do this for friends and family.
So the odyssey has a dipstick, drain plug, and fill plug?

Great Job on explaining this process but when I changed the trans fluid on 7/6/14 she took all four quarts on my 2009 Honda odyssey not the 3.3 as you explained
Could it have been low from the beginning? Or, did you overfill it? Or, did more than 3.3 drain?
Mine also came out 4 and I put 4 back in.
Thanks very much
thank you so much this was very helpful
Thanks for video... Just say how much trans oil needed? If you raise driver side of the car, more oil will come out.... I end up putting 4 q!
So the Odyssey 2006 doesn’t have a transmission filter?
OMG your ODYSSEY is so clean under there, what a beauty, did you clean it?
Its still new...31k miles
excellent. thanks brotha.

HonDo you have a video showing the ATF filter replacement on the 2007 Honda Odyssey ?
on most hondas including accords its the same thing, drain from bottom 3/8th bolt, put bolt back on. refill atf about 3.3 quarts, done. you saved about $60. buy atf from walmart, dw1 is a ripoff. valvoline maxlife or redline d6 or d4 or amsoil multi vehicle premium designed to be 5-10x better than oem atf. maxlife is only $5 quart if your walmart has it, o'reilly's has a 1 gallon one for $26
Thank you for making this video. I have a 2012 Honda Odyssey, is the process very similar or are there any changes on draining and refilling the transmission fluid?
I heard it's very similar process, except not sure if the new model has a fill plug. If not, then just fill it slowly through the dipstick.
dial2fast
Hi, i have a 2012 too and i see the same fill bolt below the brake fluid that is labeled "ATF" ... does that mean i can just remove that like your video and fill from there? looks pretty similar. just want to confirm before i do it and no one has made a video for the 2011- present yet. thanks!
Thanks for your videos again. You have saved me tons of $$$!
By any chance, can you do a video on how to flush the coolant on the Odyssey?
DJ DUCATITI It will be a future video because the Honda blue coolant is a high mileage fluid and my car is still low mileage.
Great video. I am guessing you could fill as well through dipstick hole too? May not fill as fast but same end result? You don't have to have that big extension either.
I just did another service last week, and looking at that dip stick hole, it's very small, and it will take so much more time to go that route. But yes, you can fill it that way if you want.
condor5635 i just changeg mine and the filled through the dipstick hole it went pretty fast
I hear both check the level when it's off and check it while it's running. Which one is it? Do I check the level while the engine is off or running?
You check with engine running on this car.
I just did a drain and Fill for my Honda odyssey 2007 and it come out 4Qt, I out 4Qt back in and when I check my Transmission dipstick level with engine on I can see that is to much into the transmission ! But when I check the dipstick with engine off i see it to the perfect level is that how is supposed to be ?

@@lambertj.2892 I've been waiting 9 years. 9 years for an answer!
Thanks Lambert.
Have you had to change your engine mounts on your odyssey... yourself?
Not yet
80k miles on my 2007 and about to replace it for the first time. Haven’t had any issue...
Hi, what about the filter? How do you replace the gearbox oil filter?
how many quarts did you put in ?
I believe the fluid level must be checked with the #Odyssey in P Park, at operating temperature and idling.
If you check when the car is off you will not see the correct level.
Also, when pulling up the dipstick, look at both sides of it, one side may be very clear where the level is and the other side may look spotty and vague and overfill 💪
Awesome video
According to the owner's manual that came with my 2010 Honda Odyssey it says to warm up the transmission and engine and then shut the engine off. Wait at least 60 seconds but no longer than 90 seconds to check the transmission fluid with the engine off and the vehicle in park.
@@wallebo thanks for looking that up, I would always suggest the owners manual, yet sometimes I can’t bother to look it up myself. :-)
@@RyanPerrella My pleasure.
Do you have two Honda Odysseys?
GTAMONIEZ VIDZ No, if you are referring to the 2011 grey one, that's my friends Odyssey.
Good job boy
how many bottles or gallons do I need to change the oil in the transmission. thanks.
What size is the crushwasher? 18mm?
have problem with my 07 Touring right now, the van drives smooth and drives top condition but just this evening when i parked at my garage, the "check transmission" light is on and after that i moved the car forward and that light went off but the "D" light is blinking and i have a check engine light on, will ti solve after i change the ATF? mi really concerned coz i just recently bought this van, but to me it run really just fine.. its just i had this light on bilinking.thanks
You can try a fluid change and remove the battery terminal to reset the system, but if it comes back, you may have a bad sensor, or worse is a failing transmission.
Transmission sensor you need to look into...honda odessey 2005 to 2007 was recall on this issue.
Thanks Master. Should be the same part for the 2005 - 2007 ODY
Actually most of the 2008-2010 parts are compatible. Even the lower control arms and the front grill replacing the front bumper and hood. I'll order the front bumper and hood ti change the front look of my 2006 since the main headlights are the same.
Also I'm looking forward to install Honda Pilot brake rotors on my ody since they are larger but I'll need to replace the break calipers as well. The guys at Honda Birmingham Alabama advised this:
The ody is a nice ride so long you know which mods to do on it.
Can you share a list of all the tools you used? (Including things like the the car ramp)
I'm just trying to see what all of these tools may cost me.
+David Lezette You will need a socket wrench set. An extension and possibly a long handle breaker bar for the fill bolt. Funnel with a hose, car ramps, oil catch pan, and a work light or flash light. That should do it.
Awesome, thanks!
Do the sockets need to be deep wall sockets or will regular old ones work? I have standard sockets but not deep wall.
You don't need deep socket set, just regular ones.
Does it have transmission oil filter to replace. When replace the oil?
Tran filter not serviceable.
Thank you.
so the motor have to be off during the transmission fluid check? I drain 1 quarter trying to get the level with the motor running : )
whats the part number of the bolt and drain washer?
I believe these are the parts, but check with our dealer.
Honda Part: bolt, plug (18mm)
Part Number: 90081-PX4-003
Honda Part: washer, drain plug (18mm)
Part Number: 90471-PX4-000
I have done it with the dip stick method but considering buying an extension next time. What size extension would be ideal to get down to the ATF bolt?
You can put couple of extensions together and get it to about 20 inches.
What about doing the filter with the fluid?
I believe the filter in these Honda transmissions is not accessible. They are buried deep in the transmission and would require taking out the engine AND transmission to take the tranny apart to get at the filter. That's probably why they want you to do frequent fluid changes.
Is this a good reference for the 2013 Odyssey, as well?
Ak King yes
