AT Fluid Replacement
Hey guys, I want to flush out all the old transmission fluid and replace it with new stuff. I know you can take out the plug but it only drains like 4 quarts and the total capacity is around 7.5 quarts. Would it be ok to unhook the lines leading to the cooler, sending line into a drain pan, and return line in a jug of AT fluid? I dont know if there needs to be pressure on the return line for it to suck up the new AT fluid. That or pour AT fluid in while it comes out the bottom.

Re: AT Fluid Replacement
When is the last time its been changed? Typically there is no need to drain more then 3 quarts from the pan per the service manual. (3 quarts is all that comes out) If you wanted to drain a little more you could get it hot and then open it up but i wouldnt recommend it. As long as you change it on the regular interval theres no reason to do a complete flush.

Re: AT Fluid Replacement
True, OEM Honda/Acura fluid is what people will say, I wonder how much the dealer wants. If it costs more then ill probably just go for royal purple.

Re: AT Fluid Replacement
No need to worry about getting all of the old fluid out of the system. Just do a drain & fill.
Use the new Honda ATF DW-1, part number 08200-9008. It's a new synthetic formula just released in the past few months and costs a little less than $8/quart from the dealer (if they try to charge you more, they're marking parts up above Honda list price - go to a different dealer). Shift quality is noticeably smoother than Dexron II/III, and is better than the old non-synthetic Honda ATF-Z1 in cold temperatures.

lol my trans hates the cold with the RP, it has a much higher viscosity rating then your standard valvoline ATF
