How to flush ATF on Honda Accord 2008 to 2012 HONDA ATF DW1

[@Cloneufc]

36 ftlbs for the transmission drain plug and 29 ftlbs for the oil pan.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Ok thank you

[@skyeric875]

I used shears to cut a hole in the shield so I can drain it without removing the plastic. Saved me 75% of the time now.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Oh yeah I though of doing that but then it’s customers car

[@christopherjc54]

Guess that works too 😂

[@Dannyt951]

​@@RBTheMechanicI can tell it was a customers car by the way you tore off the shield and weren't careful as if it were your car that you paid thousands of dollars and would want to be taken care of 😂😂😂

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@Dannyt951 it’s all good can’t be scared to work car is back togather and better than before

[@fabrivila2774]

To check the oil level: 1.- Start the engine untill it's Hot. 2.- Shut off the engine. 3.- Wait 60 seconds. 4.- Remove the dipstick, and wipe it. 5.- Insert the dipstick and take it out again to see the level. That's way.............

[@PurpHaze830]

Transmission fluid level*

[@chrisczarnik3439]

Would have been a good idea to show what ATF you have used. It is important.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Will do on up comming videos

[@SB-bc1nw]

The best advice I can give is replace the amount that you drained out. That way you will not underfill or overfill it. The exterior transmission filter is a real pain in the butt to reach. It's on the left (driver's) side by the firewall. Good luck with that one.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Thank you I use to do that measure the amount came out

[@nskgraff]

Men this bottles cost $35 for 4 of them and at the shop they want it to charge me $250 lol hell nah! Thanks boss HONDA Best Car!

[@RBTheMechanic]

K T yeah do it yourself !!! Original fluid from deal is under $40

[@sirstoic1187]

Don't forget the filter

[@isaacsanchez5159]

On Hondas you can check dip stick with engine Off ??

[@RBTheMechanic]

U can there’s instructions for that in manual but usully I warm it up and check it with car on straight level and engine running

[@macc240038]

Didn't do that last step when I dumped mine. I'll do it next time.

[@094340]

Just did my 2009 Accord, 2.4 four cylinder. It took exactly 3.5 quarts.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Cool

[@094340]

@@RBTheMechanic I'm wondering why some people with the same car only have to put in 2.6 quarts, it doesn't make sense at all. As far as I'm concerned, you put back what you took out, plus the internal filter, which holds about half a quart.

[@salvatrucha47]

I had to add about 3.6 even though its 2.6 in the manual??? Checked it after many miles and still good level.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Ok

[@salvatrucha47]

@@RBTheMechanic is that typical?

[@haythamso977]

How many liter exactly we need to change please for same car. Whit filter

[@RBTheMechanic]

It like 3 could be wrong check with part store or google it

[@emmanuelikpo]

there this car i want to get, 2008 accord 2.0L. the car has been parked for a long time, though i have not seen the car but i want to ask if eventually i get the car, should i change the transmission fluid?

[@RBTheMechanic]

How long is long time it’s been parked for? And what’s the milage

[@emmanuelikpo]

@@RBTheMechanic i will get the info and let you know

[@manuelsalgado8510]

The oil goes in the same spot where dip goes?

[@RBTheMechanic]

For the transmission yes make sure it’s transmission dipstick

[@LUk3.M.]

You don’t put it through the dipstick, that is the wrong way to do it. There is a bolt in the engine bay labeled ATF, it’s facing up, just need an extension, undo the bolt and put any long funnel in there and fill it, you can fill it a lot faster than trying to go through the little dipstick, and it’s the proper way to do it. Look at the owners manual before making a KZbin video.

[@mashwani052]

In case if you replace Atf filter, does it need to fill extra oil?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Not lot less than half more quart

[@viuttonnganga]

Thanks much appreciated!!

[@RBTheMechanic]

No problem!

[@MASvieo]

my tech fill the transmission with 4 boxes of oil 4 litre now I check the dipstick its over fill can that cause damage ? please help

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yuppp u need to take some fluid out and level it up

[@meaculpamishegas]

Great video, thanks

[@RBTheMechanic]

Thank u!!!

[@emiliodelgado7445]

you missing a quart of oil , is 3.25 quarts not 2.6

[@RBTheMechanic]

Ok

[@syedadeeb9084]

I bought my 2008 honda accord at 147k kms.. Now it is at 228k kms.. No history when gear oil was changed. Should i do it? Or should i leave it running like that?

[@RBTheMechanic]

I wouldn’t touch it now it’s at a point ur taking a chance so I would find the history to continue its service

[@syedadeeb9084]

@@RBTheMechanic I doubt if there was ever an oil change on this one. What would be the best way moving forward?

@@RBTheMechanic I have a 2010 Accord EX 2.4L with 120K miles. It was flushed at 85K 4yrs a go....So just drain the old 2.6 quarts and fill with new Honda ATF DW1and NO filter ..or do you have to or suggest changing the old filter w/a new one? Also..can I use a floor jack in the "front" with jack stands on the front sides with the cars front end up but the back tires on the ground and do it like that...OR does the whole car "have to be totally level" and lifted when draining..Thanks!!

did the car have a leak?? looked wet from the bottom after u removed the plastic part

[@RBTheMechanic]

Not sure maybe had small leak most cars do

[@michaelwright1602]

I'm in Michigan, just did this service on our 2012 Accord, and it was wet in the same area. It turned out to be water and road grime. The shield traps it, as the shield was covered with the same, along with a thick covering of what looked like concrete, we live on a dirt road. I had to wire brush the splash shield clean and rinse with water. I cleaned up the wet area on the transmission and sanded, applied a rust encapsulator and painted the engine cradle. Minor surface rust, good to catch it now before it gets out of hand. No fun replacing those cradles.

[@nguyentamable]

This is not flushing only drains and filled

[@RBTheMechanic]

When you go for service at dealer this is what they do

[@nguyentamable]

@@RBTheMechanic yes it’s call drain and fill not flushed,if flush you have to disconnect the hose going to the radiator,and let the transmission oils go out from there while you car running,and they will drain dirty oil from torch converter

[@hayzar4054]

Only 3 good ?

[@RBTheMechanic]

You have to check the left after that but it take somthing like that amount

[@hayzar4054]

@@RBTheMechanic delar said only 2.6

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@hayzar4054 yeah I think 2.9 around that much but try this measure the amount u take out let it cool off because it expands while hit

[@johndesaavedra1040]

When are you going to perform a flush? I just wasted my time watching yet another drain/fill partial change. As black as that fluid is I would expect you to want to remove more than 4 quarts.

[@RBTheMechanic]

U don’t watch all of my videos other wise u would understand stand but here anyways I’ll explain flush is for those who destroy and abuse and neglect the car and now they r stuck and it’s all Blocked clogged filthy in there and now ur gonna need to flush and jam thing in places where it’s clean anyways do ur fluid change regularly and it should be easy as this

[@MFS45]

You NEVER flush these Honda transmissions. Anyone telling you otherwise is wrong. You drain and fill 3 times to replace the vast majority of the fluid. A flush that they typically do at those quick lube places WILL damage your transmission
