1996 Honda Civic auto transmission drain
I'm changing the auto transmission fluid in my '96 Civic but I can't for the life of me get the 3/8" drain plug undone. I tried with a breaker bar and the thing won't even budge.

Finally was able to get it free. The fluid was pretty dirty and there was quite a bit of metal on the magnet of the drain bolt so it looks like it has been awhile since it was last changed. How often should I change the fluid to get it clean? Maybe every 500 miles or so? I'm going to do the 3 quarts x 3 method. I'm using Valvoline Maxlife since it is Honda approved.

That's what I would do. If the fluid is still dirty after third drain and fill, do more.

The driven miles are put on by the customer...not the technician.
