I need to flush (drain-and-refil) my tranny but I cannor remember how many quarts are needed for each refil, is it 4?

Thanks!

 

I want to say I used like 3 3/4 (with 4 bottles obviously) in my MT, I can't see the auto holding much more.

It should be in the owner's manual

 

I thhink we used 7 when we did my ex girls accord.....2 to flush and 4 1/2 to fill? sounds right.

 

Should be about 2.5 quarts for each drain/fill. If it looks clean on the dipstick now, & doesn't smell bad, you can probably get away with one cycle.

 

It looks old and it smells a little, but not burnt, but it has been 20k miles so I need to do it, I can feel that it needs it..

So I need 6 quarts for 2 drain and refils then, right? All I do is drain out the old fluid, replace with new, drive around for a bit, then drain and refil again and then I am good to go, right?

 

You got the procedure. Hard to say whether you'll get away with 5 quarts. Safer to have 6 on hand, but it's easy for me to spend your money....

The 2nd time you drain, watch how clean it comes out & judge for yourself whether you need to do any more drain/fills. You'll also see how much crud is stuck to the magnet of the drain plug.

I had a '98 & did a single drain/fill every 30k miles & it was OK. Not very dusty/dirty where I live & it had a fair amount of highway miles, so I guess mine had an easy life. YMMV.
