Follow the MM, you shouldn't need to replace the filter.

change it every 15k...two and a half quarts of Honda ATF fluid is only about $20 and a small price to pay to keep your tranny nice and cool

only buy Honda ATF fluid

Do you know how to change the engine oil ? On these cars it's super easy compared to the 90's Hondas. If you can change engine oil and filter you can change transmission fluid. It's super easy.

I usually do mine around every 30k miles or 48000 kilometers. Car has about 147k miles and trans still shifts great.

One more thing. Does it have a CVT transmission?

No. Don't wait until 80,000 miles. Now is a good time for the 1st change. The second time, maybe 80,000miles
