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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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 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
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
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
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.
l've a 95 Accord, l replaced the Transmission Fluid with ATF DW1 and the Transmission is slipping at low speed like 20MPH specially when making right turn, yield. Why is it doing that? ls the Transmission is going bad? Do l need to a new Transmission?
I totally hear what you saying. This frequency of fluid change in the Honda is a preventive maintenance so you don't get stuck with a $1-2k transmission bill at a later date. Honda have had a bad track record of transmission problems in the past. Honestly, I will not buy another Honda again. I just had to replace a bad wheel bearing at 43k miles (ridiculous!!).
mitino aiken I don't know much about the Sienna, but I also own a 2004 Nissan Quest and that generation has had some issue with brake rotor warping, and oil cooler leak, but engine and transmission if strong.
mitino aiken You have to remember that a drain and refill procedure removes less than half of all the ATF. Most of it will still remain in the torque converter and in the cooler circuit. A 30k frequency means that if you do this procedure twice (at 60k) you will then have replaced most of the fluid. There is a procedure where you can get most of the fluid out in one sitting but involves a bit more risk. This is safer but less effective than a "flush".
I have seen conflicting info on how to check level. One leave it running, wait for fan to stop. Shut it off......Can anyone confirm proper procedure to CHECK ATF? (My tip assuming fluid is at level prior to change, heat atf, jack up front end high, and measure output, will give you a good idea what you need to put back in{a turkey baster and an ATF funnel works fine though the dipstick}) Now 2 years after changing, ours started leaking, and can not be sure where i am with proper level after adding more fluid. Help would be appreciated!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
Went to get my transmission fluid changed today and they said there was no fill plug on my 2008 Honda odyssey so the had to fill it through where the dipstick is said there was some recall on it know anything about that I couldn't find the full plug when I looked after I got home?
l had a nice 93 Accord SE for 10+ years with no problem and all the sudden it started leaking oil even in the spark plug wires and it would have cost me too much to fix it. Last year, l traded it for a 95 Accord, l don't know what repairs the previous owner had done on it, l bought it for $2,500 and between parts and labor, l already spent more than l bought the damn car. l'm glad to hear that, but l've no money to get it checked out, l hope the car will hold til l get my tax refund next year.
Don't let the dealer talk you into a transmission "flush", which can damage your transmission and Honda does not recommend. Only do a drain and fill as shown here.
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 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?
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
Hi I have a Honda Odyssey 2003 and I ask the mechanic to do transmission tune up but he told me me doesn't believe on that because the transmission build up something inside and that help. No need to do it what you think?
+carolina reyes Try another mechanic. It's not a tune up, but just a simple routine maintenance. Transmission fluid is another fluid in your vehicle just like motor oil. It provides lubrication to moving parts. They eventually loose their lubricating property and will wear on the transmission parts. What you don't want a shop to do is a transmission 'flush'. Only have the shop do drain and fill like I showed. In fact, all Honda dealers will only do drain and fill.
Lol my mother bought her friend's used Oddyssey and theres no records of the tranny fluid ever being changed so with 109k miles I'm really worried but other than that it drives really well.
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.
I have 06 Honda odyessy I put the wrong transmission fluid after that I experience something weird after I drive a couple hours The van change gears to quick do u know what that could be??
+essam mozeb Take it to a dealer and have them do a complete flush of the system. Hopefully no permanent damage is done to it or else you are looking at buying a new transmission.
I have a 2006 and just had the code for a Crankshaft position sensor ..Its a $80.00 part but the timing belt need to be taken off to change the sensor any issues like that anyone?
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.
If you have never changed the tran fluid at 211k, you better just leave it alone and drive it till the tran fails. If you mess with the fluid at this point, it can fail prematurely.

Word to the wise, be sure to unscrew the filler plug FIRST. Never unplug the drain plug first.
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.

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.

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...

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'm going to tackle this next week. How much ATF did you have to put in? Just one quart or more?
A simple drain and fill is 3.3 quart. Check the fluid level with the car on a level surface.
So the odyssey has a dipstick, drain plug, and fill plug?
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.

Last year, l traded it for a 95 Accord, l don't know what repairs the previous owner had done on it, l bought it for $2,500 and between parts and labor, l already spent more than l bought the damn car. l'm glad to hear that, but l've no money to get it checked out, l hope the car will hold til l get my tax refund next year.
Great video! Thanks!
Don't let the dealer talk you into a transmission "flush", which can damage your transmission and Honda does not recommend. Only do a drain and fill as shown here.
What size is the crushwasher? 18mm?
Doesn't it have a transmission filter?
mitzvah torah . It does not have a filter.
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 don't own a Honda, but your videos are greats.
Thank you!!
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!
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.
Can I use the link to your video in the Honda Odyssey facebook group page? I want to have DIY links in the pinned post.
Thank you!
how many quarts did you put in ?
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
Farris... is this your video?
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 : )
Hi I have a Honda Odyssey 2003 and I ask the mechanic to do transmission tune up but he told me me doesn't believe on that because the transmission build up something inside and that help. No need to do it what you think?
+carolina reyes Try another mechanic. It's not a tune up, but just a simple routine maintenance. Transmission fluid is another fluid in your vehicle just like motor oil. It provides lubrication to moving parts. They eventually loose their lubricating property and will wear on the transmission parts. What you don't want a shop to do is a transmission 'flush'. Only have the shop do drain and fill like I showed. In fact, all Honda dealers will only do drain and fill.
Lol my mother bought her friend's used Oddyssey and theres no records of the tranny fluid ever being changed so with 109k miles I'm really worried but other than that it drives really well.
That fluid is still good. Nice and red
80k miles on my 2007 and about to replace it for the first time. Haven’t had any issue...
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.
I have 06 Honda odyessy I put the wrong transmission fluid after that I experience something weird after I drive a couple hours The van change gears to quick do u know what that could be??
+essam mozeb Take it to a dealer and have them do a complete flush of the system. Hopefully no permanent damage is done to it or else you are looking at buying a new transmission.
Just trade it in and save yourself some grief
I have a 2006 and just had the code for a Crankshaft position sensor ..Its a $80.00 part but the timing belt need to be taken off to change the sensor any issues like that anyone?
you just over torqued the drain plug, first time it clicks-STOP! not twice......
You can click it as many times as you want. You just can't push on it further than when it clicks. The click only confirms the torque spec is met.
And the filter
I have a Sears nearby and a Harbor Freight even closer. Thank you for your very quick reply, I will check them out tomorrow!
Hi, what about the filter? How do you replace the gearbox oil filter?
Gracias por la los tips. I also agree with all other comments it is realty helpful
Thanks again..
my ody has 145000 miles and it is 07.... should I keep the old oil in? it does shift really hard though :(
Is it black? Can you see tiny metal flakes when you rub the dipstick on your finger?
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.
Same
OMG your ODYSSEY is so clean under there, what a beauty, did you clean it?
Its still new...31k miles
I have 2005 Honda odysey never change transmission oil now have 211 thousand milles on it is safe to change at that milles on it
If you have never changed the tran fluid at 211k, you better just leave it alone and drive it till the tran fails. If you mess with the fluid at this point, it can fail prematurely.
