Roylewaa Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 As title I'm looking into changing the autobox fluid, for peace of mind really as I don't know when it was last done Is it really as easy as those videos on YouTube suggest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philgor Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Tbh, I never got round to changing the fluid on mine, as it always looked ok, and didn't smell burnt. It'll take a couple of changes to change all of the gearbox oil, as there's a lot in the valve block, and also they have an external oil cooler running through the bottom of the radiato.

Roylewaa Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 I've checked the fluid today, still looks clean with no burnt smell, so reckon it could have been done not too long agoSometimes it seems a little lazy to change gear, just wondered if it was the fluid, then again I've read that's fairly normal for a Honda auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roylewaa Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Thanks mate, I might as well get some fluid and change itDealers is only 2 mins up the road so easy enough to get, might as well get the rocker gasket that it needs while I'm there:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gel Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Not having a long funnel is all that's holding my fluid change up....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 get an old bit of 8mm vacuum pipe that normally goes between your rad and overflow bottle, will fit over the breather hole nicely and onto a funnel, that's what I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
