Re: how often should you change ur atf? (intellectual.)
change it at least once a year at the max, but id change it at least every 6 months. its the only thing that will really prolong the life of that trans.

There is a drain plug on the passenger side through the wheel well. I can get to it with the wheel on my 2000 LX. The fill port is where the tranny dip stick goes. I would recommend Honda automatic transmission fluid, as the manufacturer does, not manual transmission fluid.
Also, I don't see any problem with changing every other oil change if you want, but the recommended period is every 30k miles. Every other oil change may be excessive. I do mine every six months.
IMHO

Unless you drive your car outrageously hard, changing your mtf every oil change is an extreme over kill!!!

True, but your wasting money. Me changing mine every 10-15k is just as good as you doing it every 3k. I guess if you got money to throw away, knock yourself out but that money could be used other places.
