2012 Odyssey... It all started with watching your front pad video. Since then it's rolled to this transmission fluid change, an oil change, servicing my wife's 2016 Fit, and giving me the confidence to work on my old 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee! Thank you for your confidence inspiring well explained postings! You are awesome!
Mine has 230K miles on it. It think it's time for a change lol. The D is flashing but the car seems to drive fine other than that D flashing. Thanks for the video!
Great tip on the tube from Home Depot to make that funnel access easy, without that you need to fool around with the airbox, your method is more flexible and requires less tear down. GREAT VIDEO
Thanks Dial2Fast! This is my third video of yours. I can now easily change the two filters and the transmission fluid. Good audio and you show the points of interest with light. Seems like a small thing, but it's a big thing. Really appreciate your videos!!
Kathy Barbieri It's always nice to get feedback from people who appreciate the effort that goes into making a good video. I am glad my videos have helped you. Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Just a bit about changing the oil intervals. I bought my 2005 Odyssey used with 73000 miles. Have no idea if and when they changed the oil but I now have 200000 miles on it and have never changed the trani oil and it still works perfect. Not suggesting not to change the oil to everyone just don't panic about the exact number of miles.
Yeah, I was in the same boat as you. Bought my 2005 when it had almost the same mileage. Was young and dumb and never thought to check the fluid. By the time I did, at about 120k it was black as sin. I knew (or thought) I screwed up, but knew it was best to leave it. Just sold the van a few days ago with 235k on it. Still drives and shifts great. Not that I'm recommending never servicing your tranny, but if you neglect it like I did early on, might as well ride that baby into the sunset!
I remove the drain plug take out 4 plus quarts put back what I took out c (Castro trans mix) fill up by the dip stick hole all good. Been doing it for years. Do that every year till it's nice and rose color then I stop....only do this for friends and family.
So that's maybe three of these atf quarts then? If it's 3.3 USqt.. how many of these containers do I need to top it off. Lmk please. Thanks. Please reply to me ASAP I need to do mines soon.
Tip to avoid regret: Before removing fill bolt, jam cloths around the area in case you drop the bolt. Dropped mine and never found it again! Had to buy from dealer.
Haven't changed the transmission fluid in my mom's 2007 Odyssey. It has over 95,000 miles so it's definitely worth changing the fluid. For some reason, the color of the existing fluid is a nice dark red. Maybe the dealer did change it. Still, definitely time to change it.
Each time you drain it, 60% of the old fluids remains. So the first change leaves 60%; the second change leaves 60% of 60% = 36%; third change leaves 60% of 36% = 21.6%; fourth change leaves 60% of 21.6% = 12.96% ; then 7.8% ; then 4.7%; then 2.8%; 1.7%; 1.0% remains after 9th fluid drain fill...
If you want affordable, first 2 places come to mind is Sears and also Harbor Freight (if there is one near you). I have both 1/2" and 3/8" which I purchased at Canadian Tire store in Canada many years back. I also have 1/2" and 3/8" from Harbor Freight. All work fine. Main thing is to take care of it and don't drop it.
Thanks Master. Should be the same part for the 2005 - 2007 ODY Actually most of the 2008-2010 parts are compatible. Even the lower control arms and the front grill replacing the front bumper and hood. I'll order the front bumper and hood ti change the front look of my 2006 since the main headlights are the same. Also I'm looking forward to install Honda Pilot brake rotors on my ody since they are larger but I'll need to replace the break calipers as well. The guys at Honda Birmingham Alabama advised this: The ody is a nice ride so long you know which mods to do on it.
Great Job on explaining this process but when I changed the trans fluid on 7/6/14 she took all four quarts on my 2009 Honda odyssey not the 3.3 as you explained
Just an FYI, I believe that transmission holds vacuum so no matter how many times you open that 17mm fill bolt, it’s going to be hard and “pop”. Best to open it when drain plug is off I assume but I’m no mechanic.
I believe the fluid level must be checked with the #Odyssey in P Park, at operating temperature and idling. If you check when the car is off you will not see the correct level. Also, when pulling up the dipstick, look at both sides of it, one side may be very clear where the level is and the other side may look spotty and vague and overfill 💪 Awesome video
According to the owner's manual that came with my 2010 Honda Odyssey it says to warm up the transmission and engine and then shut the engine off. Wait at least 60 seconds but no longer than 90 seconds to check the transmission fluid with the engine off and the vehicle in park.
Yes the ATF isn't too old, but that's why I can do 1 drain and fill. If you wait too long then you really need to do 3 drain and fills which equates to almost a complete flush.
dial2fast would you say every other oils change and drop the transmission oil as well? I like no e clear like yours. Might as well since we are there anyways.
Do you think that we can do 3 drain and fills to any car to perform almost a complete flush? I want to do it to a Toyota Tundra. On a you tube video they disconnect a cooler hose, they do something on the computer sistem....etc. At the end they had to turn off the checking engine... Too much!
Gracias por el video, muy demostrativo. ¿Cuál es el torque que se debe aplicar al tornillo que se quita para drenar el aceite de transmisión? Y ¿Cuál es el torque de apriete del tornillo donde se coloca el aceite de transmisión? Saludos
I can't imagine a more perfect instructional video. You must be a tiny, tiny person to be able to crawl under your Odyssey without jacking it up or running it up a ramp. Such skinniness is long ago in my past. And how much ATF did come out? It sure looked like more than 3.3 quarts. I believe the transmission holds about 10 quarts. I wonder if I ran the driver's side wheels up a ramp if that would tilt the transmission enough to allow even more fluid to come out? I'll have to give that a try in a couple days when I do the job.
The Odyssey in the video is up on drive-on ramps. I bought a pair from Harbor Freight. I have the same question, if the Ody front end is raised w/ rear on ground, does this influence quantity (less of a complete pan drain) of fluid drained?
@@gkorenek With front tires on ramps and rear tires on the ground that may be the ONLY way you can reach the drain plugs. I just did the engine oil drain and filter replacement which is all near to the transmission drain plug. It was kind of roomy with the front tires up on the ramps. Without ramps it would be a tight fit. You'd need to be real skinny with long arms.
@@STBRetired1 Yes! I'm going to do the AT fluid "drain and fill" with the drive-on ramps at the front. I'm going to use Valvoline Max Life AT fluid. Also would use ramps to do oil change too. I've been using local oil change services (Jiffy Lube, Honda Dealership, etc.) for engine oil and filter changes, and mechanic shop & Honda dealership for ATF fluid drain and fill. I want to start doing the ATF fluid service myself to save some $$. I have the AT drain plug crush washers on order, when they come in (soon) I'm going to do the service myself as in the video. Also need to put together the funnel with tubing to reach the fill plug. Bought a torque wrench as in the video too just to get all the plugs back in and torqued to specs!
@@gkorenek I was all set to do the transmission fluid drain and went over to WalMart to get some Valvoline MaxLife. The website said they had it in stock but the shelves were empty. I was not a happy camper. I checked with Advance Auto and AutoZone and they want $ 10 more PER gallon. So, I ordered it online at WalMart and will have it delivered in two days - right when the rain starts.
@@STBRetired1 I in Walmart, I had to really look for the MaxLife ATF, there were only 3 "jugs" (gallon containers) of it hiding amongst many jugs of motor oil. I checked Walmart price vs Amazon price, was the same. So I went home with a jug. At Walmart I also purchased the oil (fluid) catch drain container, where you can easily pour out the captured fluid into another container for recycling.
Went to get my transmission fluid changed today and they said there was no fill plug on my 2008 Honda odyssey so the had to fill it through where the dipstick is said there was some recall on it know anything about that I couldn't find the full plug when I looked after I got home?
True true, back in the day when I was first learning about cars, my uncle told me he didn't need to change the oil in his car only the filter. He said he burned enough oil and replaced enough a little bit at a time everyday!
I have seen conflicting info on how to check level. One leave it running, wait for fan to stop. Shut it off......Can anyone confirm proper procedure to CHECK ATF? (My tip assuming fluid is at level prior to change, heat atf, jack up front end high, and measure output, will give you a good idea what you need to put back in{a turkey baster and an ATF funnel works fine though the dipstick}) Now 2 years after changing, ours started leaking, and can not be sure where i am with proper level after adding more fluid. Help would be appreciated!
have problem with my 07 Touring right now, the van drives smooth and drives top condition but just this evening when i parked at my garage, the "check transmission" light is on and after that i moved the car forward and that light went off but the "D" light is blinking and i have a check engine light on, will ti solve after i change the ATF? mi really concerned coz i just recently bought this van, but to me it run really just fine.. its just i had this light on bilinking.thanks
You can try a fluid change and remove the battery terminal to reset the system, but if it comes back, you may have a bad sensor, or worse is a failing transmission.
I highly doubt the ATF DW1 is the culprit here. If there is a long period where the ATF fluid was not changed out, some damage may have already been done. Putting in new fluid that has more lubricating properties may reveal the issue. You should get it checked out by a transmission shop.
The filter is deep inside the transmission and is not reachable without taking out the engine AND transmission and then taking apart the transmission. Instead, Honda just wants you to "frequently" change the fluid so the filter doesn't get clogged up.
Hi, great video, but had a few questions - do u replace the atf filler washer also and if so, is it the same washer part as the drain bolt washer? Also should u shift the tran gears for 30 sec each after the fill and should it be on level ground? Thanks
I have a 2006 and just had the code for a Crankshaft position sensor ..Its a $80.00 part but the timing belt need to be taken off to change the sensor any issues like that anyone?
I have 06 Honda odyessy I put the wrong transmission fluid after that I experience something weird after I drive a couple hours The van change gears to quick do u know what that could be??
+essam mozeb Take it to a dealer and have them do a complete flush of the system. Hopefully no permanent damage is done to it or else you are looking at buying a new transmission.
I have done it with the dip stick method but considering buying an extension next time. What size extension would be ideal to get down to the ATF bolt?
Hi I have a Honda Odyssey 2003 and I ask the mechanic to do transmission tune up but he told me me doesn't believe on that because the transmission build up something inside and that help. No need to do it what you think?
+carolina reyes Try another mechanic. It's not a tune up, but just a simple routine maintenance. Transmission fluid is another fluid in your vehicle just like motor oil. It provides lubrication to moving parts. They eventually loose their lubricating property and will wear on the transmission parts. What you don't want a shop to do is a transmission 'flush'. Only have the shop do drain and fill like I showed. In fact, all Honda dealers will only do drain and fill.
l've a 95 Accord, l replaced the Transmission Fluid with ATF DW1 and the Transmission is slipping at low speed like 20MPH specially when making right turn, yield. Why is it doing that? ls the Transmission is going bad? Do l need to a new Transmission?
Good video. Pretty much the same steps on my 05. One additional suggestion. I found it easier to get to the filler plug if I removed the plastic cover on the top of the engine. I also spent a good half hour trying the get the fill plug off. Breaker bar is a must have for this job. Also, never ever ever use anything other than Honda transmission fluid. It's expensive but it's cheaper then buying a new tranny if you use something else. Same is true for Honda break pads for what it's worth.
How do you check the transmission fluid level? I have a 2014 Honda Odyssey, and I don't any see any liquid when the engine is turned off, after running the engine at nominal temperature. Do you check it while its on park and running?
For this Honda Odyssey, you start the car up, and run until it reaches normal operation temperature. Wait until the cooling fan turns on the first time, then shut off the engine. You have 60-90 seconds to check the fluid level, and top off fluid until its between Max and Min mark on the dipstick. This is done while car is in park.
I believe these are the parts, but check with our dealer. Honda Part: bolt, plug (18mm) Part Number: 90081-PX4-003 Honda Part: washer, drain plug (18mm) Part Number: 90471-PX4-000
to dial2fast,I have a question? I have 2005 honda odyssey and I have isues with the steering wheel,my odyssey driving on the high way at 65 to 75 mph,some times my steering wheel shakes, I put new set of tires and the problem still on it,do you have the similar problem on your hodyssey, I take the van to different places to do the balancing wheel,Y change the transmission fluid every 10.000 miles , mechanics check the suspension and everithing is good, and the problem still. tanks.
If you have already got new tires and done the balancing, then it's hard to say what it is. Especially to do with a steering wheel vibration at highway speed. Have you tried rotating the tires front to back to see if the problem follows the tire.
You have probably solved your problem already, but just in case other have the problem, I want to share my experience. I had the exact same problem, and tried all the same fixes. I even had some mechanic tell me my tires were not perfectly round which caused the problem. Ultimately, I had one of the fron axles replaced, and that solved the problem.
