on a 4th gen how do i change the transmission fluid?

someone told me id only drain a third if i just uncapped it and let it drain out cuz its still stuck in the tranny when the car is off?

can someone clear this up

 

When changing the tranny fluid, only 1/3 of the fluid actually drains out. So to do a better job of replacing the dirty fluid, you should change it 3 times, with a short drive between each change. Use only Honda ATF-Z1, with no additives.

 

how many bottles should i use each time i change it?

like to do the whole thing am i gonna need a 3 bottles (1 bottle for each 1/3 change)

you use up around 2-2.5 quart each time.

 

i'll be doing mine in the next few days, but i was curious will i need a funnel to refill the tranny without makin a mess.
