2014 - 2016 Honda Odyssey Transmission Fluid Change

[@hfarms5779]

I have a 2016 Odyssey with 6 speed trans. Before doing a drain and fill, I looked at many videos but you're the first to mention a transmission dip stick which many newer vehicles don't have. Thank you for slowing things down and explaining. Everyone is a novice at something.

[@edstrazz2758]

Great video! Did this combination transmission drain with the last 2 oil changes. Uses 3 quarts of transmission fluid with this method. Van is changing gears super smooth now.

Good Video. Concise short and to the point.

[@fuelediowa]

good video. thanks for sharing. exactly what I needed and great info!

[@factionfx]

Thank you for the video. this looks super easy! I think I'll use one of those larger catchers like you are using for the oil.

[@Samlol23_drrich]

Thanks so much for posting this. Extremely helpful

[@jpneal10]

Awesome video. Thanks for the help.

[@timparmentier4267]

GO slow when adding through the dipstick, it will overflow if you don't

[@soarstar]

Yes it will ;)

[@rishisingh6111]

I suffered that pain!

[@Julianna.Domina]

Is there another way to fill it?

[@rohitbhatnagar7599]

Did you have to use 4 Qrts or 5?

[@aomanchutube]

This helped. I still had to hunt for the location of the plug for a good 2 minutes. It hides in plain sight.

[@Julianna.Domina]

Thankfully I've taken my dust cover off completely, made it nice and easy on me, thankfully

[@ART224]

Good video. Thanks for the upload. I found telling where the oil level was on the dipstick to be a bit difficult. The dipstick never seemed to be fully coated in oil. Does anyone find this to be the case? I ran it until the fans turned on and the checked it. I made sure the dipstick was fully seated.

[@Emperor_1971]

I did this the 1st time but next one I’ll use the original fill hole instead using the dipstick took so long and spilling some

[@torch9937]

Are there any transmission fluid filters that require replacement during a fluid change on the Honda Odyssey 2014? Thanks!

[@TDONLEY91]

Steven A I thought there was an inline filter

[@joeaverager]

I think there is. Genuine Honda (#25430-PLR-003) Transmission Filter. Can be purchased from a variety of sources local and on the internet.

[@AIRMASTER77]

Yes there is an inline filter and it's a pain to get too. Next time I do mine Im putting tubing in place of it and putting the inline filter in a more convenient spot. If you take it to the dealer they won't even change the inline filter.

[@AIRMASTER77]

@Happy Cynic if you look at the right side of the motor it is down toward the bottom in the front. It's pretty rough to get to because it's so close to the bottom. If you take it out and reroute the line up toward the top it'll be easier the next time you do it. I had my van in at the dealer for a tire related issue and I was discussing them about the transmission fluid change and he acted like there wasn't even an inline filter on the van. They just leave them don't change them in and there goes your transmission. I ordered my inline filter on eBay for around $10 straight from China.

[@AIRMASTER77]

@Happy Cynic drivers side near the battery. I pulled the whole batter battery tray out of the way to get to it

[@JesseHarrington87]

Thanks for the vid. FYI when checking any automatic transmission the car needs to be running in park or neutral.

[@JT-jg8le]

Why?

[@JesseHarrington87]

@@JT-jg8leneeds to be warm and circulating thru the torque converter and transmission to get an accurate fill level.

[@GR8GUY54]

Done this a couple of times now using the flotool method. Need to find fill plug and try that next time.

[@usarmy3111]

I have a 2016 Honda odyssey drain and fill... How many quarts do you put in?

[@johariedga1]

3.3 us qts

[@Keeperexpert]

I have a 2015 EX-L, the light for the ATF came on at 25K. I called honda dealer for the transmission fluid replacement - they quoted $240. I later leaned why. It's not a drain and refill, they use a machine to replace all of it under low pressure, not just the 4 quarts that drain. The oil itself for the whole replacement is well over $100.

[@Keeperexpert]

I may surprise you, but Honda updated their maintenance routine on the Odyssey. My service minder code for transmission came on at 25 000 miles. I drained and refilled 3 times at a garage and honestly would gladly pay Honda to do it all in at once for $240 next time)

[@joeaverager]

Our MDX is due, same transmission as the Odyssey. I'll gladly do the work myself. The biggest reason is because if they flush the transmission, what do they do about the filter? If they reverse flow the filter trash could be pushed back into the transmission. If they forward flow the flush, I want a new filter in there first. If they use the filter hoses as the machine connection I guess that would be okay. Nobody cares more about my transmission than me. ;)

[@KW-cq4yr]

I have a 2015 model with 40k not sure if it has been changed we bought it used it had 34k on it. I took it to dealer to have a middle seat recall fixed and they told me the transmission oil needed to be changed about every 30 to 35k. The Honda dealer said they doubt it had the 30 k service they had no records. Who knows that maybe true. I pulled dipstick and the transmission oil looks really clean like it has been changed but Honda doesn’t have any record. They tell me it’s going to be 590.00 to service. So I may just change it myself but from what I see it looks to be already changed we don’t drive it a lot. I have a very slight hesitation when cold can’t tell if it’s transmission or might be something with the ignition but after a few miles it goes away almost like you have a little bit of water in gas. But always use premium fuel and tried at different locations just to make sure it wasn’t bad fuel or sometimes It doesn’t do it at all. Anyone had this problem. It shifts great on rare occasions we get a hard shift.

[@Anon1mous]

Transmissions have always been Honda's weakness. A drain and fill like what was done here every 25-30k is sufficient in my book.

[@Cstoreri]

K W the fluid should look nice and clean@ 40k!

[@Julianna.Domina]

I got nearly 5 quarts out of mine. Added 24oz of StopSlip (I always like to do so,) and then 4 quarts of ATF. 2016 EXL here

[@GHeath-qd7zb]

Back when we serviced auto trans. You have to do it with the car running in neutral and on a flat surface.

[@edgargonzalez6490]

How many transmission fluid bottles did you use?

[@edstrazz2758]

Drains 3 Quarts this way.

[@jeesmith99]

Very helpful. Thanks!

[@regmatt]

Hi did u put all that 4 bottles of fluid or how much do I have to put ?

[@Anon1mous]

IIRC, it's 3.3 quarts. To be safe, put in 3 quarts, park on a level surface and check the level via the dipstick. Make sure to check when hot.

I thing you should check the oil level when the car is running

[@yekaterinak1575]

Do you need the car to be running when checking the dipstick for oil transmission?

[@glp0426]

Start vehicle. Select each gear. SHUT OFF. Check level. Honda is different from others.

[@jtrentha]

Is it a different process for a 2013?

[@learntocode9206]

[@dhhbtd]

How miles should it be changed?

[@JT-jg8le]

You forgot to change the inline atf filter under the battery compartment.

[@NGF-Life]

Does Honda Odyssey has a filter for the transmission?

[@AFPECE]

Internal filter, not replaceable

[@NGF-Life]

@@AFPECE Thank you, so i guess when you change the fluid, you don't have to change the internal filter right?

[@juhs]

My dealership wants $318 to change the trans fluid so I wondered if there was some magic process that needed to be done. Looks like they're just ripping people off

[@Samlol23_drrich]

As usual

[@weseethetruth158]

They tend to flush not just change which is more thorough and takes more fluid.

[@DanBollard]

FYI, my dealer just said they don't do a flush. They charge $169 for a drain and fill, no filter change.

[@dison4linux]

Did they change the recommendation? On the 3rd generation, there was a TSB specifically stating not to use the "flushing" machine.

[@Anon1mous]

NEVER flush. A drain and fill is what all the dealers in my area do. This is easier and quicker than an oil change but the dealer charges a lot more.

[@djcnch]

Se debe cambiar algún filtro de aceite para la transmisión ? Donde se ubica este filtro de aceite de transmision?

Drain plug washer part number?

[@HussainObama]

what funnel is that?

[@blutsx]

Lookup transmission funnel on Amazon, they have funnels with small tip for this. I put a link in the description too.

[@Seanshizzle10]

What size is that washer?

[@krispy5139]

Dealer typically has the washer for about $2 or $3.

[@hassanr01]

Does anyone know if there are any fluid lines that run the atf through the radiator? I did mine the same way except i had to empty out four 1quart bottles of atf to match the original level on the dip stick.

[@firehydrant315]

If the van is equipped with the towing package it will have a transmission cooler (at least that was what I was told when I brought my van new in ‘14)

[@jonathancallahan6654]

Change the filter! Most of the old fluid is still in the transmission. Best method is to drain and fill 3-4 times and change the filter.

[@glp0426]

You can not change the filter in a Honda transaxle. There is no pan and the filter is internal.

[@osupoke2169]

When you say drain and fill, does that mean drain the old put new in, then drain the new and put new new in? So buy like 12 quarts and flush?

[@ART224]

@C S yes. You’d drain out the fluid in the pan, refill, drive around for a while to get the transmission fluid mixed up, drain again, fill again, and repeat. Each time, you are adding roughly 3.3 quarts of new fluid. After you have done this 3 or 4 times, you’ll have more more new transmission fluid in the system than old. Draining all of the old fluid out will be impossible, so this is the best you can do.

[@glenglene8473]

mine only drained out 3.5 quarts. Capacity indicates 3.3 quarts.

[@creederiii]

I got 3.75 quarts with a 2016 EX-L, so everyone’s results seem to vary. I’ve done mine three times so far, and consistently in the 3-3/4 quart ballpark.

[@j14152]

I watched more than 6 minutes of this video to see where the fill plug was, because I didn't want to remove the air intake to find it. Looks like it's filled through the dipstick. But with what funnel? I wonder - why is this video so long? One minute of information - maybe. Loves to hear himself talk, I guess . . . . .

[@GR8GUY54]

j14152 im wondering what funnel as well lol. I just bought the flotool miximizer from Wal-Mart to use instead. changing the transmission fluid tomorrow.

[@joeaverager]

I have a metal funnel that I purchased from the auto parts store 20 years ago. I still see them around. Just visit a store and ask for a long fill tube funnel. They'll have them.

Check your owners manual! But normally between 30k-60k miles. But check your vehicle's owner manual and it will say when.
