Default Tranny Fluid Replacement

Is this easy to do on the Prelude and how frequently do you all do it?

It's easy to drain it. Filling it back up is a different story. I made my own funnel to make filling it up easier. I used a plastic flexible tube that has an opening large enough to fit the funnel tip into.

It takes 1.9 quarts to fill it up too.

I change mine every 3 years.

I heard the same thing, or it might be that silver tube that sticks out...It's one of those

I did the exact same thing, works alright. Make sure your vehicle is perfectly leveled, or else you will not re-fill it enough using this method.
