hey guys I have a 2018 sport 2.0t AT, 31k miles, do you know when I have to change the transmission fluid? I've called three different Honda dealers and one say at 60k miles the other two at 30k. Thanks

Follow the Maintenance Minder....

Maintenance Main Items

Maintenance Sub Items (Item #3 is for transmission fluid change)

I would ask those dealers you contacted why it's an item in the Maintenance Minder when it's due to be changed and they are suggesting it should be done at a certain mileage. It is my understanding that the maintenance minder system is supposed to take in the condition of the fluids, type of driving the car has been subjected to (city vs highway) etc., etc. The only item in the sub items that has a time change (36 months) is the brake fluid if it doesn't call for it after a reset (change).

If that's when you want to change it... myself I'd go on when the maintenance minder indicated it needed changing.

Has anyone figured out how to change the auto transmission fluid. If so could you post a DIY?

Make sure to change the spark plugs every 10K miles, the engine oil every 3K, and the points and condenser ever 1500 too

I think he is referring to his Accord not his 1958 VW Beetle.

It's sarcasm. Changing the ATF before the maintenance minder says it's needed is a stupid waste of money. But it's his money so he can rock on.

I think it is part of the "B" service that the maintenance minder shows at 30K miles.

I've also been looking for a DIY. If there is one out there, I can't find it. I'm surprised there isn't one given how long this car has been available.

Bought the car December 2019 with 22 miles on the odometer. Around mid 20k miles car felt some hesitation shifting to 1st and...

Wondering if anyone has the details on a DIY automatic transmission fluid change? While I’m not anywhere close to needing that yet, I couldn’t find a solid Honda recommended mileage interval, so as I looked around I ended up with more questions than answers. Specifically, where is the trans...

The dealership ripped you off, plain & simple. Challenge the bill. Every job has a corresponding time it is suppose to take. That's where the Labor Guide comes in. Motor is one publisher of the guide. Ask the dealership to see their labor guide. The dealer's labor rate ($) should also be...

The drain plug is easy to find it is also marked clearly. The fill plug is located above the level plug. This is very similar to a rear differential drain and fill. My 2013 CRV awd rear differential was a drain and fill as well. The drain plug is easy to find it is also marked clearly. The...
