Save $300 EVERY 15k Miles | Easy DIY Transmission Fluid Change. Discover the truth about Honda Pilot 6 speed transmissions and learn how to save thousands of dollars by performing a DIY transmission fluid change required every 15,000 miles on your Honda Pilot. This could save you the long term cost of replacing a transmission prematurely. Plus, dealers charge an up to $300 to do this simple job. Don't let them empty your wallet!
How has your experience been with the Pilot's transmission? I'd like to hear your thoughts here.
I have the zf9 in my Pilot black edition. Hate it. Could be great but the software/tuning is set up to save fuel so much that it’s hurts my soul. I’d happily lose a couple MPGs to have all that 3.5 power available on demand. Also it takes an eternity to shift from P to 1, and from 5 to 4. Btw, you can now fix the MOST issue free at the dealer as it has become a recall (due to the backup camera being intermittent)
Ridiculous, the only thing I like about the vehicle itself, is it's safety rating. We drove it on the 800mi round trip to the beach, and it started the transmission antics. We had 14,000 miles on the trans fluid change.
I’ve reached over 100,000 mi. I’m the second owner, but it didn’t have a ton of miles on it when I got it. I was just getting ready to go pay for a transmission flush. After watching this I will just do it myself. I just hope it’s not really gunky to where I’ve wasted time and money and would still need to go and get a full flush on it. I’ve not had any transmission issues at all so far knock on wood. It’s got power when I need it too. The only problems I’ve had with the car is a rattle that they can’t seem to find. It’s like in the undercarriage, not the engine. The other has been condensation issues in the lights. 2013 Honda Pilot Touring
I have a 2019 Passport Elite, so 9 speed. I installed a $100 VCM defeated, I just couldn't stand the lack of power. I consistently get 24mpg in the city. I have issues with the transmission, when it shifts into 3rd periodically it will make a light thud when it shifts into 3rd. I've drained and filled the fluid (different oem fluid than the stuff in the video) 4 times, 52,000 miles on the vehicle now. I don't know what to do, change the fluid more frequently? The thud into 3rd (could be 2nd but pretty sure it's 2nd) mostly happens when I start driving on a slight downhill. No warranty on the vehicle so no option to have dealer look at it. Any thoughts?
Terrible. 30 year Honda customer. My 2016 Pilot has been awful. Having this exact issue with my 6sp AT. Took it to dealer at 85,000 miles with judder. They applied TSB protocol, but I had to pay for a triple drain and fill because judder warranty was only to 80,000 miles. Started again at 107,000 miles. Honda USA tells dealer I need to do another triple drain and fill, then change ATF every 20,000 miles. Mix of city and highway driving, no towing, nothing big. Unbelievable. This is my last Honda vehicle after 30 years and 4 vehicles. This was a great video. Thank you for making such well done informative content. Considering local dealers want $190 for a drain and fill and even 3rd party shops charge ~$120 I may consider doing it myself after watching your video since it's going to be every 15-20,000 miles from now on.
Our 2014 Pilot ATF fill plug was so tight it would not come off! Not a problem since you can fill through the dipstick EXCEPT Honda made the dipstick so small I could not find any normal funnel to fit in that small hole. I "engineered" a piece of tubing to fit the end of the funnel but it is great to see they made the dipstick hole a much bigger diameter on the newer models!
Having to change the transmission fluid is my biggest gripe about the pilot. Total ripoff & I wish I was warned about this before purchasing it!🤬 Thanks for making this video, it was really helpful!
Thank you! Very detailed and great walk thru step by step of the process.
i like how you called the ramps jack stands lol. great video. thanks.
Great video, my pilot was sputtering and the atf change instantly corrected. Thank you
Thanks for the video! I do the motor oil and trans oil changes on my daughter's 2019 Highlander and it's very easy. It's nice not having to put vehicle on jackstands. I bought a case of DW-1 online and plan to do changes every 15,000 since I did the first one at 25,000. She bought it new in December 2018 and since she works from home, she doesn't put many miles on it.
I first to get the funnel and other tool . You made it look so easy
Drain and fill, don't flush. I have previously had a CR-V and an Odyssey. Embarrassed to say, I never changed the transmission fluid on the CR-V. The dealership never recommend it and I never had an issues with it despite adventuring places with that it should have been driven (I was younger). Sold it at 105,000 miles. I currently have a 2018 Acura RDX and a 2015 Odyssey. Neither of them required a transmission fluid change every 15,000 miles. One dealership told me every 90,000 miles, which is ridiculous. 2015 Odyssey started acting up at about 60,000 miles, shifting erratically. Turned out there was a service bulletin on this. The Dealer did a triple drain and fill and updated the software to correct the problem. I now do a double drain and fill every 30,000. Odyssey now has 190,000+ miles with original transmission and engine burns no oil. Acura dealer did a drain and fill on the RDX at 30,000 and I repeated at 60,000, no problems at all with it's transmission.
I’m doing my first transmission oil change at 50000 miles on our Pilot with no drive ability issues at all.
Best time to start is now! Make sure to read the manual for the correct replacement fluid amount.
Impressive and really easy to follow video.
Thanks for sharing this process
Right on! As always, thanks for stopping by!
Hi, Thanks for the nice walkthrough. I recently had my t oil changed but next time I think I can give it a try by myself. I am here in Korea. :) thanks a lot. 👍👍👍
Nice Jack stands!
Lol. Yep.
Thank you so much for the video, great advice. Very helpful to know. I will do my pilot 2022 every 20 000 kms . 👍
Great video! I strongly recommend never reusing a crush washer unless there's no other option though. Very descriptive video and great instructions.
You did great with this video!! Thank you for the information! A video on the Timing belt when you have to change it would be amazing!
That sounds like a fun project. It’s coming up soon!
I’d like to see that too.
Thank you video and I’m glad the 2022 don’t have that issue but and big but the diff fluid has to get changed at 15k and the 45k
Thank you for your help! 😊
I added an in line transmission cooler in front of the radiator in hopes of keeping the juddering at bay. My Ridgeline has the same transmission and I tow with it often, and since adding it I haven't had the juddering.
Thanks buddy,,, this video it really helped me
Nice video, just sub for the support. Generally speaking, for the same Honda DIY owners, to save the convenience of putting the car on the jack or ramp, this 15k miles transmission fluid change interval could basically be every other oil change (assuming one would opt to choose changing their 0W-20 synthetic oil every 7-8k miles and not go much further than that).
Thank you, I just bought my 2019 pilot
Great information 👍
Great video. I have an 18 EXL AWD. Several months ago I had an issue where the car would seem like it couldn't decide what gear to be in under certain driving conditions - it would shift up/down strangely. After some searching online and in forums I discovered that it was just a matter of changing out the ATF. Fortunately changing the ATF is easy and the Pilot is one of the few vehicles that still has a dipstick so checking the level is easy. Note though, the official procedure is to drain and fill THREE times, not just once. That's because when you drain the ATF, you're only really emptying out around 1/3-1/2 of the total retained fluid, so ultimately you're just diluting it. Given that the fluid is pretty pricey ($15/qt IIRC), going through 12 rather than 4 quarts makes up for a lot of the dealer premium especially when you include time (sibce the car should be driven between each drain and fill to mix the fluid). That also explains why you have to change it so often - you're not changing all the fluid, just a portion of it (full fill is 7.8q but on change its 3.3 since thats al that will flow out via gravity). This video popped up because i just changed mine for the secons time as the aforementioned shifting issue was starting to occur again. I actually measure what comes out and fill with thr same (using a large graduated cylinder) and for my vehicle thats more like 4q.
Did the strange shifting stop?
Thanks for posting.
Nice! I hope it was useful.
Thanks
Video was great help
first... you have nicely explained and went over step by step and very detailed. Also visually we were able to see everything you were working with. Thanks and i will be getting this done now my vehicle is at 100k miles. I got it at 80K. The main issue i have is that whenever i drive to 60- 65mph a "transmission problem" error message pops up but there is no issue with the shifting or anything in driving. I have driven it 15k miles like that. I am wondering if i do the fluid change first and see if it goes away or i am not sure. Some people online posted the same problem and said they had transmission changed some say they had different thing done to it. Now i am not sure what to do. Should i change the fluid first or is there any kind of module or something "computerly" that needs a reset. The vehicle is a salvage title i am not sure the dealer would take it if it had a recall. So any suggestion???
My 2016 Pilot developed transmission jutter at approx 20,000 miles. I took it to Honda and there was a service bulletin on that jutter problem. They updated the software and changed fluid and that solved the jutter problem. Thanks for video. I am going to changed my fluid often now.
Do you know what the bulletin number is?
@@jerryjerry9063 Honda SB #A17-014; NHTSA ID Number: 10108688; static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10108688-9999.pdf
I've also started to drain (~3.5q) and fill the transmission on my 2016 Odyssey with every oil change. I'm DYI'ing both and just going to Costco to have my tires balanced and rotated every 4 months.
What type of transmission fluid did you use?
Good pointers. I have 6 speed Honda, due the same thing every 30,000 miles. Have 9 speed Acura and due this 20,000 miles. It take less time to service the trans than doing an oil change. Send a sample of the fluid to a lab to check the wear. I use Black stone.
Great Video.... thank you for sharing. Now, if you will excuse me..... I have to go out and work on my Honda Odyssey build out. (grin) I have the finish floor installed, the fold out seat/bed re-installed and now I can determine the elevations for my work counter and storage. . . . Thanks again for your videos, they are very helpful.
That sounds like a fun project! Are you building everything yourself?
@@OffGridAdventure Yessir. My background is construction and being retired I will design it, build it and modify it as many times as it takes between now and the time I move up to a larger vehicle, at which point I will start the whole process over again (grin).
Very good video sir! Those are Rhino ramps btw not a jack stand .
Those pesky jack ramps. Every time I make a video, I find those little mistakes. Jack stands were on my mind from the previous video with my trailer. Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks!
Wow! Thanks! That’s awesome!
I've had your comment about music preference in my head for the last few videos of yours, and now i keep on giggling thinking about how different your video would be if I were the one editing with lofi and happy-go-lucky songs XD
I tried a few different songs on the intro, but chose this one to be more audience appropriate.
@@OffGridAdventure your audio is on point, as always!! /Genuine
Thank you for maintenance info how long engine oil changes 5000or7000
I change the trans fluid on all my cars every 30 k miles. Doing every 15k miles, the fluid is not that bad and so its just a waste of money. On my Pilot I put two funnels, The black one at the bottom and another one on top.
Timing chain need to replace either last longer but still need to be changed
:) WELL DONE Indeed! Very thorough and concise! I used to have Honda's CRV, Civics etc. BUT after what you pointed out on maintenance costs of newer ones, NO THANK YOU HONDA! ESPICIALLY the $$$$ TIMING BELTS! :( ALL the BEST and Cheers! :)
Thanks! It’s wild. I can’t imagine anyone wanting to pay that much for maintenance.
A lot of honda transmissions would have lived longer with that type of interval. I've never replaced a crush washer in 50+ years, and was actually surprised when I changed my last oil that it needed one.
how many 1 litre gallons are we expected to put in the oil chamber pls? I realized you used 3 and half smaller gallons, right? why would some request we buy about 8 gallons of what you administered pls?
Thanks 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good video, thanks. Same process on the Ridgeline with a 6AT, which I'm about to do at 50k miles. And good job using a torque wrench and mentioning the proper torque spec, which is easy insurance that a lot of people ignore. But what's with the weird crouch in an empty garage bay at 2:40? LOL And a small heads up: DW-1 is correct, but Idemitsu H Plus is made to meet the DW-1 spec but it cheaper and comes in 5-quart jugs, too. And some old cardboard from the Amazon boxes we all get all the time makes a good disposable drip and splash catcher under the drain pan, just in case. And those are ramps, NOT jack stands. :)
Ha! It’s the camera angle. I didn’t want to move it, and was getting ready to drive in.
If u have to reuse drain plug, flip it over to get double use out of one. Only if you have to reuse.
Hi, I am wondering where to get a funnel like that to fit in the dip stick tube? I have a Odyssey instead of a Pilot but that tube is probably the same size. My owners manual does say to change transmission fluid in my van. Let me know? Thanks
I really like your channel. I'm curious if you're happy with your solar panel and generator set up. Are you happy with what you're using or would you recommend something different? Best-case scenario for minivan what would you recommend for solar panel and solar generator combo?
Hi, thank you! If you’re using a Sienna like mine, then a 200w panel is about the largest that fits on the roof. I recommend getting at least a 1000Wh power station if you can. I’ve had luck with the EcoFlow River 2 Pro lately, but it’s smaller at 768Wh. It also accepts up to 200w of solar power.
@@OffGridAdventure I've got a Chrysler Town and country that seems they have a similar layout to yours
Did you say that need to change this fluids otherwise it gets high and low RPM ? my 2019 exl gets RPM ups and down on hill like bridges, is it due to not changing transmission fluid ?’
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO SIR, WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR ATF OIL AT?
I picked it up at the dealership.
I wish my 2018 pilot had dipstick to check the transmission
Question, does this transmission have a filter that must be changed to?
Thanks - this is helpful, just got a used 2022 Pilot so this is great for info. Question: why don't you just measure the exact amount you took out and put that same amount in?
The amount that comes out might not be correct. So, it’s safer to use the check and fill procedure. Thanks for stopping in!
Is this the same thing as a flush? I was told once that a drain and re-fill is not the same as a flush they do at the dealer?
warranty recall for the torque converter judder
Thanks for the vid. I have a 2020 EX-L AWD with shift lever (not pushbutton electronic). I am pretty sure it is the same transmission in your video. The drain and dipstick are in the exact same place as the one in the video. I think you may have made an error in the amount of fluid. At 13:50 in the vid, you show the specs. But you are reading the "electronic gear selector" transmission (3.5Q) and Type 3.1. I don't think the transmission you're working on has the electronic gear selector. I believe it has the shift lever. It should be 3.3Q AND as you show in the video ATF type DW-1. Can you double check this please. Thank you.
Correct. I was reading it incorrectly in the video, but I actually did the correct amount, with the correct fluid. Thank you for pointing that out. I didn’t realize that I read the 8 speed transmission specs. Mine has a center console gear selector. Not a push button.
Any news on the pilot? I just bought mine 2 days ago(2016 exl) and i notice that judder and im thinking to give back the pilot and get a different car.
What about the 9 speed automatic transmission for a 2017 says there’s a software update hmm not with yours?
Nice video!
My Grand Cherokee is full time 4wd and it’s recommended to change the differential fluid and transfer case fluid every 30k miles. You’ll actually start feeling a grinding in the driveline if you don’t
Yikes! This thing starts to buck a little. The first time it happened, I thought it had bad plugs or injectors.
I believe it’s every 30,000 miles. Dealer said 60,000 was fine, although since I tow with mine I’m sticking to 30,000. Will be doing my first today, so depending on how the fluids look I will determine if it needs to be done more often.
just remember for most people your going to follow the severe maintence schedule
I do every 30,000 miles too but added a Transmission Cooler for my FWD and no issues
I did mine at 60k Dealer did the last one at 30k. The transmission fluid was darker than expected and I didn’t realize until after it was changed, how poor it was driving previously. Transmission was surging slightly. Its AWD and I have the added cooler. I tow a boat that was roughly 3500 all in, about 20 minutes each weekend, only in summer. I’m now just starting to tow about 4,200, same distance and amount. I will be changing my fluid every 15k miles moving forward. Which is about once per year for me.
@@wsvitak got one with 40k it was surging a little. When I did the first drain and fill was surprised to see all the crap on the magnet. I dont even beat on the car after the 3rd drain feels pretty good now.
My neighbor took her Honda HR-V in for a simple oil change and when she left they sold her on cabin air and engine air filter for a total cost of $360.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO , IM COPPY FROM YOU ,NOW I DO MY CAR NOW ...
Hi Buddy, Thanks for the detailed video and great job. I might be wrong, but it looks like your vehicle is "with shift lever" and you have overfilled the transmission by 0.2 qts. Exactly at 14 minutes of this video(where you are showing the owner's manual) it clearly says 3.3 US qt for "Models with shift lever" whereas you put 3.5 qt that is for "Models with electronic gear selector". I have 2017 Pilot (Elite) 28K miles with electronic gear selector (9 speed transmission), and I just completed the transmission fluid change because I felt the transmission is little jerky in lower rmp and lower gears. I got it checked at a stealership, they said transmission is ok and transmission change is almost due. Even after the transmission fluid change, transmission is still jerky in initial gears (may be 1st couple of gears or so, or up to 25 mph)
You are correct. I was surprised when I read it, because I’ve always gone with 3.3 qts. I have since done another drain and fill with the correct level. Thanks for pointing this out!
I did the measurement method, measured what came out and put the same amount back in there
You have to fill and drain the fluid 3 times and the issue should be resolved
Great video! I have to do the same to our 2017 pilot. They want $500 at the dealership… How often do you change the trans filter?
Assuming the transmission is similar to the previous generation Honda pilots, the transmission filter is not serviced unless absolutely necessary due to being an internal component.
@@insane671 the filter is external on this model.
Link to the funnel?
I suggest doing a double drain every 30k miles. I haven't had a problem and I have over 150k miles.
About to do this for the first time because ('16 Pilot): $150 for the diagnosis $650 for the drain and fill x3 we're out the $150, but now I know and hopefully we will never go back for this. How do I dispose of the used fluid?
Geez 650 thats crazy. Shit is easier to do than a oil change. Just did mines 3x for 50 bucks. Local town recycling center will take the used fluids maybe autozone etc would take it too.
How about a Filter Change?
When I had my transmission changed. Dropped the pan and changed the filter/oil. Doesn't your transmission have a filter? Having to changed transmission according to my car Ford booklet is every 30,000 miles. Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
I think they label the filter as a lifetime filter for this model. I’ll have to check, but I believe there is one in situs transmission that can only be accessed during a rebuild.
@@OffGridAdventure It would be interesting info to learn and know.
Pilots do have a transmission filter. Black in color and about the size of a small oil filter. Fortunately it is accessible on the outside of the transmission on the front side from underneath the vehicle. Awkward to get to, but doable. Simply disconnect hoses to remove old one and reconnect to install new one. The filter is directional, and has an internal bypass valve in it. I changed mine earlier this year at 90K miles on my '16 Pilot. Cut it open and it was VERY dirty, but not clogged. Filter cost was $50 at the dealer at that time. Cheaper on Amazon, but I did not want to run the risk of getting a counterfeit filter. And yes I got the "Not normally a service item. Usually only replace with transmission overhaul" speech from the parts guy. Still, very glad I did the job. May be my imagination, but my Pilot seemed to run smoother with a new filter.
@@chuck5386 Good to know. Thank you.
Good looking out in Need a ATF filter when i do this job. Thanks for the heads up!@@chuck5386
My pilot 2018 is just 71000 miles now and dealer suggests me to do this service, will need $350. He said the fluid is from german, means very expensive. Any idea about the fluid?
did you have to repl the trans fil? does this fluid change get rid of the trans sys problem error on cluster?
If you have a light on the cluster, check the engine codes. That will help you narrow down the problem. Also, I’m sure there’s a filter, but I have not changed it. I will look into At around 100k miles.
Hi what is the code for 2020 Honda Pilot transmission oil
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had nothing but Honda’s for the last 20 years and am super familiar with working on them, but those kind of intervals are pretty absurd and would dissuade me from keeping that car. I’d be figuring out a way to grab a Toyota lol.
It surprised me quite a bit. But, aside from the frequent maintenance, the transmission still works perfectly. The audio system is a completely different story.
How do you erase the code B123 from the dashboard
Luckily the newest harness connector recall from Honda should address the infotainment issues. 4 hour job by the dealer.
I’m going to bring it in soon and see. I heard about it right after posting this video.
My Honda Odyssey 9 spend transmission is the same thing crazy issues
It’s wild. I wonder how the new Pilot has performed.
$189 at my local Honda dealer.
i dont even know what speeds is my transmission ,or model of my 2020 pilot ,or engine how can i know? .it just say pilot ,not AWD im sure ,but if someone can say how to know my model? ..im very inclined to mechanic jobs in all my car ,never a problem ..i just bought this pilot recently and want to do the maintenance correctly .
I noticed you did not change the transmission fluid filter.... is that something you dont need to do?
It’s definitely worth changing. I plan to do it on the next change. It’s cheap and easy to do.
Is the process the same for the 9 speed transmission?
9 speed transmission are a bit more of a process their is a procedure to do and have to connect the computer with the honda software and put the transmission on teach in mode. Basically it does a relearn with the new fluid and would have to drive vehicle 5 miles city and 5 miles highway. In order to the the procedure honda techs have access to the honda software to put the transmission on maintenance mode. Yes im that honda tech lol.
6:15 who knew Jack stands were the price for internet content? XD
So, about that….I’m not sure why I said jack stands three times, but those are technically ramps. Lol
@@OffGridAdventure 🤣🤣 i just assumed i didn't know what Jack stands were XD thanks for the revelation!
Why only do 3 qts. When it holds 8 total. Seems like the other 5 dirty qts. will quickly take away the life span of the new 3. If there is that much slug on the drain plug, how much is in the filter? I don't like taking my vehicles back to the dealership for stuff I can do either. That's why I am searching videos on how to maintain my pilots transmission.
Just do it 3x
5:27
I believe you’re supposed to change it every 60,000 miles
My 2016 Honda Pilot started "hunting" on inclines at 40K and started making noises at 40-50 MPH at 48K. After doing an initial ATF change of 3.25 quarts, the transmission runs smoother. You can't completely trust Honda guidelines
No Honda changed it to 30k miles
My honda pilot is 2019 lx and I have those issues when I took it to Honda service they say there is nothing wrong.... Do you think I need transmission oil change I only have 16K on it????
Is it clunky or surging?
@tonychau1983 yes very clunky
@@mikesmith-lo6qr mines was a little clunky when I first got it. I just ignored it. Got 40k on it now first drain there was alot of shavings on the magnet. After the third drain and fill its pretty smooth now. I would change the fluid out for peace of mind the people on the forums say the 6 speed is the weak link .
2k for a timing belt replacement lol, when did it get so expensive 😭
So just to clarify, you're draining & refilling (3.5q) every 15k miles? Elsewhere I'm seeing people say they drain & refill, drive around a bit, drain & refill again (7q total), and others saying to drain & refill THREE times, +/- 10.5q total. That seems wildly excessive at 30k intervals, let alone 15k. Does anyone know the actual Honda recommendation at 30k miles, when they say to change the trans fluid? Drain & refill once, twice, or 3x? (Consensus seems to be 3.5q, once.)
I’ve gotten a little lazy with it, and haven’t changed it since making this video. That was 30k miles ago. So, soon I’ll do a double drain and fill. I recommend doing 3.5qt every 15-20k miles. It has not come up on the maintenance minder. But, the AWD rear differential fluid , and transfer case have. I don’t think Honda programmed it in. I’ve done this similar process with all of my Hondas and never had a transmission failure.
Have any one try to put Honda ATF DW1 transmission oil on their Pilot yet ? Just bought 4 quarts Honda Genuine ATF-TYPE 3.1 at the dealer, they cost $33 a quart. I saw they're only $14.20 on Amazon. Are they any good?
ATF DW1 is for the Honda 6sp transmission like the one shown in this video. The Honda ATV 3.1 transmission fluid is meant for the ZF9 HP48 (the 9 speed transmission w/ just button controls at the center console. I don't think there would be an issue to use higher grade transmission fluid, but you're just wasting $away. Honda ATF-DW1 should be around $14-15 / QT, but Honda ATF 3.1 does sell for about $30 / qt at the dealer typically.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I would switch to Amsoil transmission fluid. There fluids r way better than Honda's
That’s easier than changing the oil.
Sure is . Just did for the first time 3x
its a parking brake not an emergency brake !!!!! and should be used whenever the vehicle is parked
Every 15000 miles sounds crazy to me.
I went back and checked. It’s been 5 drain and fills at 3.5 qts each. So, almost $300 in fluids alone for DIY.
Wow did not know this.
Check the magnet and you'll see why you should change it frequently
For the 6 speed?. . .My first Trans drain and fill was at 27K miles per the maintenance minder. 15K miles is seriously overkill.
I have a 2018 changed mine out at 40,000, she just hit 50,000 and I won't do it again until about 70 to 75,000 I agree 15,000 sounds overkill. My magnet was not that bad wiped and re-used. However I was driving g back from the recent eclipse out of Hanksville Utah back home to California as I passed Vegas I got a "transmission oil to hot" and had to pull over for 30 minutes and added half a quart of fluid just to be on the safe side. No issues since.
29 ft. pounds is for a new crush washer
Honda says every 90k miles, you tell 15k ..!!!

current generation: " FLUID.................WHAT'S A TRANSMISSION?!?!?!?!?"
All right, you sucked me in with your headline. I totally agree with your point is cheaper to do it yourself and pay somebody else some ridiculous amount of money. Those are rams, not jackstands you should’ve started a video off of talking about the risks of doing this on vehicles that you don’t know if it’s ever been done before, the transmission fluid can build up with metal shavings like you said, sometimes the results of changing those fluids out or result in the transmission starting to fail if you do so you surely should save the fluid because you might have to put it back in and I’m old people this is happened to. I know some people they don’t recommend not even changing the fluid, and you forgot to mention the filter you probably should’ve replaced the filter before you did anything and who the hell toss a damn drain plug if it has a crush ring run it into its crust I was looking to get a different perspective of knowing us. I was looking to see how you got into the filter, but you didn’t even change your filter. I honestly on your video give you a C minus.
Where did you get your info? In Canada it’s every 80,000km which is about the same as 50,000 miles. If you want to change it every 15,000 miles, you’re wasting your money. Your video is misleading with wrong information and nothing but criticism. Sounds like you hate this vehicle
He's not changing it just for the hell of it - he's changing it because there is a very common user reported issue with some odd shifting that's fixed when changing the ATF.
@@bairdjc well I have had 5 Ridgelines and no issues with transmissions what so ever. My last two had the 9 speed
Add some Lubegard additive to your transmission with your new fluid and you never feel shudder again. I have used it with every change in three Odysseys, ‘01, ‘06, and ‘14, without ANY sort of problem. The ‘06 now has 240,000 miles and counting and the notorious ‘01 4-speed has 190,000 and has never had ANY maintenance other than fluid changes w/Lubegard.
This guy is not changing all the trans fluid. He is only draining about 50 % . The rest is in the torque converter. What a waist of time. It would be like taking a shower and only washing the bottom half your body. Top after your body still dirty and stinks
It’s closer to 30%. It is what it is.
