2006 Civic ATF change
Good evening!
My mantanence minder says it is time to change transmission fluid in my 2006 automatic Civic. Does anyone know, what is prescribed in Honda service manual for this procedure? That is, am I supposed to:
a) just drain whatever comes out and refill
b) drain and refill several times to ensure close to 100% ATF replacement
c) perform transmission flush
Yes, I am aware that each of the three approaches have a bunch of followers who swear by them, but I am specifically interested in what Civic service manual says. Also, is there a replaceable ATF filter? I have read that Accords do have one, which is for some reason not even mentioned in their service manual, but what about 2006+ Civics?
Thanks much!

Re: 2006 Civic ATF change
A simple drain and fill under normal driving conditions is all that is needed. Make sure to use Honda ATF.
It takes ~2.7 quarts
There isn't a trans filter that needs replacement under any normal servicing.
