Honda Accord 2.4L Automatic Transmission Fluid Service 2012 (2008-2012 Similar) (Drain and Fill)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 сер 2016
- In this video, I show you how I change the automatic transmission fluid in a 2012 2.4L Honda Accord (drain and fill). This procedure should be similar for 2008-2012 models. The exact vehicle in the video is a 4 cylinder 2.4L 2012 Honda Accord SE Sedan.
This procedure is for 2.4L four cylinder Accords with conventional automatic transmissions (NOT CVT). Accords with manual transmissions, CVTs and V6 models will have a different procedure than the one shown on this video.

Very helpful video -- thank you! I wanted to buy all the parts via your link to give you a little $, but you put the Plier link twice, under the Drain Plug Washers. Just an FYI!
@@DavidParkerBrown Oops, thank you, I fixed it!
The best step by step video. I’ve same vehicle, I got about 3 quarts of the fluid out. FYI, I used your links. Thank you!

Is there a filter to change when replacing the fluid?
I have an 2012 Accord. Same as yours. Bought it with 98k miles. ATF was never changed. 3rd gear would studder on a light load. Very scary. Did the 3x method “drain and fill” and the problem was solved. This video is very detailed and saved me hundreds. Local mechanics wanted to rebuild / replace converter. Thank you from PuertoRico
Glad the video helped, thanks for the comment!
Hey ! So when you drain and it fill it three times, would you have to buy way more quarts of ATF? Like would u do 2 and 6 tenths then drive it 5-10 miles, come back drain it again then pour another 2 and 6 tenths quarts again? And repeat for a third time? That’s the only part I’m not sure of lmk! Thanks!
@@premiumc2282 You will need 7.8 quarts total. You'd be doing a flush, so you need fresh fluid each time.
BORICUA!!!
Dioj' melo!
This is a great how-to example of how to service a particular vehicle. The author was direct to the point with explanations of each step. He was easy to understand, the camera angles were very decent, the tools were explained, and the pace of the video was well dialogued. The ending just put the icing on the cake- recycle your old fluids. Thank you sir!
I have reading all the comments and your recommendations about the transmission drain and fill method. You are always responding to almost all the questions people are asking again and again.Also reminding people to recycle the used oil and do not dump it in the storm drain which is not good for the environment. Keep up the good work .
Thanks 👍!
Excellent video. Adding the parts numbers were really helpful as well as the volume of fluid to add. Thanks!
buddyru123 Thank you!
Great video! Really appreciate that you went into so much detail and even put up the replacement part numbers for clips and washers. It gave me the confidence to change my own transmission fluid over the weekend and not rely on the dealership.
Thanks, glad it helped!
That really helped alot
Honestly best mechanic videos on UA-cam. Seriously underrated.
I followed your video on how to change steering fluid. Very helpful.
I appreciate the comment, thanks!
Best easiest to follow video. Obvious professional covering all the details. Thank you.
I appreciate the comment, thanks!
Very impressed with the quality, the depth of coverage, details, advice.
Best video indeed! Hope to see many more videos from you for my honda accord
Thank you.
I keep looking at the video and it's really great! Can you please tell at what mileage should I change the ATF? I was thinking 30000 miles but may be wrong?
mgtripa Yes, one drain and fill every 30,000 miles is what I recommend.
hello friend I have a honda accord 2011 v6 can I put the oil for honda ATF DW-1
Thank you for the video ! I have a Honda Accord 2011, it has about 75k miles. I'm planning to change its transmission fluid and this video is very helpful to help me do that.
Thanks for watching! Let us know how it goes.
Thanks , had no idea there was a cover to remove with all those clips! Very informative and helpful!
I followed this videos step by step and it made the transmission drain and fill on my 2012 Accord (i4) so easy. The hardest part was taking off the plastic shield to get to the drain plug. Thank you so much for your attention to detail and willingness to help those of us in cyberspace.
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
Is this a CVT transmission?
@Micah Carston No, it's a 5 speed automatic.
I've cut a small opening in the plastic shield for easy access to change the transmission fluid. I'll be doing engine oil and transmission oil changes every 5000 miles from now on. Have 140,000 miles on it.
pindiwal transmission fluid changes 5k miles? That should be done every 30-50k miles. No need to do it every 5k miles
I did this for 3 of my 4 -cylinder Hondas over 10 times. But one time I got distracted and walked away from my 07 Accord and it kept slowly draining for 20 minutes. After the refill, the transmission started to act up and it took it a whole day to relearn. For me, lesson learned, once the recommended amount of fluid is out I screw back the plug. I started to use a pan with scale lines (the cheapest plastic one from Walmart) and keep an eye on the level inside the pan. Once it reaches the level (in my case 3.1 quarters) I screw back the plug while it still dripping. We racked up over 900K miles on 3 Hondas with no single issue with the transmissions. Go 4 cylinder only. 06 Accord, 07 Accord, 09 CR-V.
Thumbs up sir, I saved and liked the video because it's on my to do list. I appreciate you sharing for those of us "who have not done this every 30k miles fill and empty 3 times to be like new".
👍
Super helpful video! Watched this at least 5 or 6 times before doing mine. Had to make sure I was getting everything and getting it all right. I did it just like the video said and I had no mistakes. Thank you sir for making this!!
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
I’m just confused when pouring the fluid.. you pour one drive the car then come back for the rest!!? Am I reading this right
@@Jpich11039:35-10:00. Yes he explains to do the drain and fill if no maintenance has been kept up on the trans fluid. Mine was not so I had to do like the video said and did the drain and fill 3 times.
I needed this so bad and you had great explanations, always appreciated!
this is by far the best video to help me for my Hondas transmission change thanks
Thank you.
This is one of the best videos about Honda transmission fluid change. Great job!!!!!!!
Thanks you!
Excellent way to show how the work is done. I don't have the tools to do it but I do understand what the workshop will do if I ask them
I appreciate the comment, thanks!
Thanks for the video, and your garage floor looks spotless.
Wow. You are very detailed. I have 2013 Accord and I’m sure is a bit different but your safety precautions along with technique are very important. Thank you. Great video.
Thanks!
Best video i ever seen for a Honda brother GOD Bless you and thank you I needed this. Awesome teaching
I used this video to drain and fill the trans on my '08. Great video but I have to say, that cut-out on the right side of the plastic piece is so you can get to the drain bolt, so you could've saved yourself 20 minutes not having to take it out and put it back on, but very detailed video, helped out a lot.
Very true, but there is the possibility of fluid splashing up above the plastic shield as it drains, which could give you the false impression of a leak as that small amount of fluid drips out from the top side of the shield. I personally think it is 20 minutes well spent.
@@PaganWizard Good point. Noted!
Thanks a lot. Clear, concise, and detailed every step of the way.
Thank you, I appreciate the comment!
Great video. Very informative and nice to see a video that covers every step of the job. Thank you.
Yes this is a great video. This splash shield is such a pain in the butt to remove if the car is on the ground
Very helpful video. I am going to replace the TRANS fluid in 2012 Accord. Thank you.
Thank you for the video. Hope to see more! I feel much more informed walking into a high pressured lube shop now. When all I really need is an oil change.
Thanks for the comment!
You're the man! Saved me a couple hundred bucks that the dealer wanted to charge me.
Thanks!
Thanks this helped me change the trans fluid myself! Only thing i have to say is that I added 2.6 quarts like you said after the drain and went for a drive, pulled into a level parking lot and re checked the fluid. It was still a bit below the fill line on the dipstick. After adding the rest of the 3rd bottle the dipstick read full.
Always a good idea to check level after.
My 09 4 cylinder drained 3.9 quarts.
Great video. Very thorough and attention to excellence and safety
Thanks for your quite detailed and very accurate instructions. You saved me most of troubles.
Turned out, my wife’s Accord 2010 had exactly 16 plastic clips. All worked well, but while cleaning them for re-installation, I noticed that two were actually different - clearly longer than the others. At first, I was about to dismiss this as being just an alternative clip type. But then I looked closer at the outermost connections to the front bumper. Only these two clips are attaching three different plastic pieces together. And since they’re not clipping to solid metal to hold them in place, the result is somewhat hanging in the air.
Sometimes the clips that overlap certain parts will be different, thanks for watching!
Thank you for posting a separate video on Honda ATF filters ... was wondering while watching
No problem 👍
Nice video. Thanks. Tackling this for the first time tomorrow night on his used Accord (new to him).
BirdMantoEagleBase Thank you.
Great video Big Dog50001 !!! I used the information for my 2011 Honda Accord transmission AFT drain & fill.
Suggestion for on the 8th generation Accord Owners: There is engine cover, which Big Dog 50001 showed taking off, I tell you it's very time consuming and problems break off cover clips etc.
What I did, and this works very well.... where the transmission drain bolt is located, use a sharp blade knife and cut the engine cover. From the middle of the drain bolt 4" on each side cut 6" long slit on the black cover. So you create flap that can be bent to access the transmission drain bolt without having to remove the whole engine cover. Now on the flap drill 1/8" dia hole, about 1" from the top of the flap. On the opposite side flap, the engine cover. drill another 1/8" hole. Repeat, and drill the hole on the other side. So essentially you create 4 holes and then each side of the flap.
After the transmission drain & fill is completed use Harbor freight "Black" plastic ties to close off flap.. Later, when I need to do another transmission drain & fill, just cut off 2 plastic ties, bend back the flap to remove the transmission change bolt - 1 minutes job. I have been using this for the past 9 years, working good. The engine cover & flap is not damaged, important to me, cannot even see it and still maintains engine cover integrity.
I think I’ll try this! I removed covers for a headlight change and it was hell lol I cannot imagine removing this one.
Very smart!
Thanks for the video, it took me longer to get that splash pan off and on than to do the service!
So helpful and soothing to watch!!!
Thank you!!
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
Great video. Thank you Sir. About to change mine again thanks to your instructions
I perform this on my 2008 V6 model. Very similar. I use a hand pump fluid vacuum tank to remove the ATF. The suction hose can fit right down the dipstick line. No lifting, clip removal, or car lifting necessary. The vacuum tank available at any auto parts store.
I appreciate the comment. However, there are a couple of benefits to draining it properly, one is getting the fluid up to operating temperature (hot) so any possible impurities can flow out, and the other is so the magnet on the drain bolt can be cleaned off, this way it will be able to collect more metal particles that come from the transmission during normal operation. Thanks for the input.
Well done, perfect in every detail. Thanks you for taking the time, I especially enjoyed knowing the details involving the plastic pan and its fastener locations
Thanks for the comment!
Followed your instructions and succeededin changing the fluid myself. Thank you！
Thanks I’ll be performing a flush this weekend. My original plan was to just cut a slit to drain but I’m going to take off the splash guard.
👍
I just brought a used 08 accord and definitely will be doing this soon as I will need to tune up the car
Have fun with the bad VVT actuator that will cost 800$ to fix and will come vack later on with the car wish I never got my 08 Accord
Now THIS, sir, is a video! Subbed💪🏼
An excellent video. I am glad that the 2012 model has a stick.
Best video for transmission fluid flush!
I appreciate the comment, thanks!
Very good video and point to point detail …… now I have confidence to do myself…after watch your video ❤
Best video hands down. Detailed explanations and saved me some money
I did transmission drain and fill on my 09 accord Lx-p. Thank you for the video it made it super easy. I did 3 drain and fills since I had never did one to this car and it has 171k on it. I measured what I took out all 3 times and the first time it was exactly 3 quarts, the second time it was 2 qts and 3/4 cup, and the 3rd time it was exactly 3qts. I drove it then checked after my last fill and I’m exactly half way between add and full on my dipstick.
👍
Using the same transmission fluid 3x? Or new fluid every drain n fill?
does tghe tranmission still work? 171k is a lot to go without a change.
@@jg3440 New fluid every time
Really great in depth video. Thank you
Great video, brother, excellent, camera angles
Very thorough video. I definitely need this info. I appreciate it Big Dog.
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
Excellent instructor
Great video. I inherited a 2008 Honda Accord with the K24 as my daily driver. Diesel fuel prices are out of control these days. Anyway, I just did a drain and fill with Valvoline Maxlife and drove it for about 5 miles. Seems like the trans is already shifting better and it's definitely quieter. Since I don't know when the last drain and fill was, I'm going to repeat 3 times like you suggested. Also, since my car was jacked up really high in the front for me to access the drain plug, I noticed I drained about 3.5 quarts. I juts measured it in an old oil container and I put exactly that much back in of fresh fluid. That way I'm not guessing. After I do this twice with Maxlife, I'm going with Hot Shots Secret Blue Diamond transmission fluid. They make the best lubricants out there and it's DW-1 approved.
Thank you the Vedic is very helpful I wish there would be more people like ucan help us who want to work on our car
Thanks 👍!
I love my accord so much. Best car i ever had
The Accords are pretty darn good cars, thanks for the input!
Great video. Just got done changing the trans fluid on my 2012 Accord, identical to the one in this video. 3.5 qts drained out, and I refilled with 3 full qts. The level sits right at the full line on the stick hot. The trans shifts and works great.
Awesome video just in time for me to do mine. Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Perfect step by step as to how to do this yourself which I love doing for anything automotive if I feel like I can. 2.6 quarts did not fill it though and I've seen this in some other comments. I have put in 2.7 now and it's still low so after I drive it next I will check it again. I bought Honda Trans. fluid from Battison Honda here in Oklahoma City and they told me I needed 4 quarts to do the job on a 2012 4 cylinder.
The spec from the Honda service information is 2.6 US quarts (2.5L) of ATF for 2.4L Accords 2008-2012 during a drain and fill like in this video. Even though that is the spec, the level should always be checked after servicing it (before is also good too) and it is not uncommon to have to add a tiny bit more. The ATF fluid level just needs to be between the two marks, sometimes it can be hard to see if the fluid is clean. Also, when checking the fluid level, if the vehicle is not at operating temperature (fans come on), on a level surface, and then turned off for 60-90 seconds before checking, the level may not read correctly. Thanks for the comment!
@@BigDog50001 Ok and thanks again...big help. Nothing better than saving $100 doing this myself (they charge $130 to do a transmission flush and fill) although that damn cover was a serious pain in the ass.
Hey great video man I learn new thing all my life I been paying 200 bucks for this wean is simple thanks bro means alot I seen you're other video on how to change the power steering fluid to man great videos do one for changing the belts and the houses if u can u got a fan here ❤
THANK YOU for taking the time to show how to take off the stupid plastic cover.
👍
excellent!! the best showing! thank you
Thanks!
That sarcasm was on point when it came to the under cover and "their infinite wisdom "😂😂😂
lol!
@@BigDog50001 Hey man great vid! I have a particular question about that cover: is it really necessary? I m just maintaining my car and I m pretty new to car maintenance.
@@deutschluz it helps protect the underside of the car where your critical components are from dirt/damage. Yes I would say if yours isn't hanging off or anything keep it on.
Straight to the work. Great guide Thanks brother
Thank you!
Good video. I see why some say to just add the full 3 quarts, mine took 3 and is still only at the bottom x after warming up and testing after 60 seconds off. Also, I bought the push pin puller and it was basically useless.
Thanks for the input!
thank you very much big dog its was very helpful video .
Great video sir. I have been doing my maintenance from day one since I bought it new. But on my car s transmission,it always takes three qts. Don't ask me why but it does. And the interesting part is that the people at Honda tells me it's four qts. My accord EXL has now 158K miles and no issues after all the maintenance I have done so far. I just had to look at the video one more time to make sure I don't overfill.🤔🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂😂😂
Just remember, the transmission will only drain to a certain point, so if you put in 3 quarts that is what you will drain out the next time (unless there is a leak). As long as the fluid level is between the marks it is good to go. Thanks for the comment!
Thank you for the video, (the dealer wants $135.00 for just that) you gave me the confidence that I can do it and I will .
I'm glad it helped you out!
Well did you end up doing it?
@@yasirzaidan4995 yes I did and it went well no problems car is running fine.
Todays dealer wants $300
The quality and tutorial is just well...PERFECTION. Thank you sir!
Thank you for the comment!
I used shears to cut a hole in the plastic for the tyranny fluid to drain. No more taking the cover off... Literally the longest part of the fluid change
Great quality teaching. Thanks.
I appreciate the comment, thank you!
Thank you so much! I was having trouble removing the shield, luckily I found your video and now I know how to it properly. Also, I found how to do my fluid change as well!
Glad it was helpful, thank you for the comment!
You really don’t have to take off the underneath plastic guard. Just make sure you have the swivel 3/8 extension and a 10 inch extension to remove it from the two rectangle cut outs. Save yourself 2 hours or less.
@robertmedina3982
Does the trans fluid get all over the plastic shield with your method?
@@TRuffin it will stream down to the lowest point of the plastic guard. Just place drip pan in center end. Unlike oil it won’t flow heavy and make a mess. Wait for 30 minutes for fluid to stop dripping. Leave dipstick on so oil flow is kept at a minimum.
I did this 2-3 years ago and dont remember having to remove anything or have a swivel. I remember just getting under the car and it was accessible. Maybe 2011-2012 are different?
Mine doesn't have the engine splash guard so before I start this job, I've saved two hours already
Very informative and helpful. Thank so much, bro :)
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
Hi!! Thanks a lot for your video it was really helpfull
Thank you for the comment, I'm glad it helped out.
Great video, thanks I'll do mine in couple days!
Saul G Thanks!
Good job by you . I am not at all mechanically inclined and I feel I can do this
I appreciate the comment, thank you!
Just finished doing mine. It took 3qts total. Wasn't too hard. I don't think it's been done before on this car. It's got 73,000 miles. I just did a drain and fill. It's my wife's car. She drives very carefully. I'm sure it will be fine
Thanks for the comment!
Amazing video on that topic. You could easily save at least $100 bucks by doing it yourself and with that money I can take my kids to a movie night out everybody is happy😁 thank you so much again and god bless you !
👍
Thank you! Very well explained 👏
Good information, detailed and well done.
Thanks!
Very helpful video. Thank you man!
Thanks!
8:35 if that is the only funnel you have, which is very similar to mine, take the hose off the air box. It's just a simple phillips head screw on the hose clamp. Then open the air box and flip the cover over the shock tower, and that will give you more than enough room to get that funnel in there. This would also be a really great time to check and, if needed, replace the air filter while you have the air box open. Also if you are a larger person, like me, doing this will give you easier access to the dip stick, which can be difficult to reach for larger people. Disconnecting the air hose and opening the air box only takes about 30 seconds or so, and makes life a lot easier. When I bought my 2012 Crosstour in 2015, which is mechanically identical to the Accord, the car had about 42K on it, and the dealership claimed they did all fluid changes to the car. Naturally I checked them myself and everything appeared to be fine. Today the car has 82K on it, and I actually had to use an impact wrench to get the drain plug out the first time. I did 3 trans fluid changes to the car today because I haven't done it since buying the car. When the first fluid came out, it was pretty dark, but did not have a burned smell to it, and there was a noticeable amount of metal flakes in it, not a lot, but enough to take notice. The next 2 fluid changes did not have any metal in them, so I think I caught it just in time, but will pay close attention to my next fluid change. Given the amount of metal I saw today, I think my next fluid change will be in 20K miles rather than the recommended 30K, just to monitor the wear on the transmission.
Thanks for the input!
get a nylon trim tool for those clips. you can find them on ebay, amazon, harbor freight , etc.
My son just bought a 2009 Accord 4-cylinder automatic and when he brought it over to the house for maintenance, I noticed that someone had cut out a section of the plastic splash guard so that I had easy access to the tranny plug. Pure genius. Never had to screw around with the cover removal and replacement.
Also, for you guys who don't have an extension for your funnel, you can remove (or simply unscrew and move) the section of the air intake hose that is blocking the dipstick.
You sir are a professional top marks :)
I appreciate the comment, thank you!
Excellent video! Thanks!
Thanks BDvery informative very good info
It's a great and helpful video. Thank
Thank you.
good job explaining ,thanks
Great videos my dads accord hasn't hit 30k miles but I'm sure to do this when it does 👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Great video, he is right, not all are exactly the same. I have a 2012 Accord Coupe 4cyl, when I drain mine 3.25 quarts come out.
I cheated. Not sure if it will matter down the stretch, but I cut a hole in my guard so I don’t have to remove it when I do a drain and fills. I also lay down cardboard just in case. I don’t want fluids on my white driveway.
Thanks for the input!
great video. keep making more.
Thank you!
Great video. I just followed it step by step on my 2012 coupe and had no problems at all.
jcheegoose Sweet! Nice job!
Thank you. Very informative :)
Glad it helped!
Good Tutorial. Great Job.

Excellent video. 10/10 thanks!
Thanks!
Just did my first ever transmission drain and fill on my 09 Accord and it went flawless. Youre video was extremely helpful. Thanks!
Hey, I have an 2012 accord (100k miles) My fluid is pretty low but I’m not sure if I should add some because I’ve heard that adding or changing transmission fluid to a high mileage car could damage it. Do you have any recommendations?
@@salahosman2111 Low fluid is never good. Follow the manual for regular maintenance. the Accord 09 manual says transmission drain and fill at 105k
Awesome, glad the video helped!
@salah osman, I would definitely recommend adding fluid up to the proper level if my Honda ATF was low. Ideally on a 2012 Accord the ATF should have been service at least once by the time it had 60,000 miles but Honda says it can go as far as 120,000 miles before service (under normal driving conditions which is not very common nowadays). My own recommendation is that this ATF service be done at least once every 30,000 miles.
On vehicles where the ATF fluid has been neglected, I don't have a problem doing a fluid service like in this video because it only gets about 1/3 of the fluid so it is not a shock to the system like it could be on other vehicles where all of the fluid is changed. Of course anytime any work is done to a vehicle there is always a chance something could go wrong.
I just did mine a few minutes ago along with coolant and oil change gotta go to dealer and get one more quart. I was a little short. I had a half of quart left from previous service needs a tad bit more. Its on the stick but notin braided area of stick you know I shut it down I'll check it in a few to make sure I dont need anymore
what a great video, thanks!
