Great Video. I do have a question though, don't you need to actually drive the car in all gears for the fluid to circulate through? I feel like simply cycling through the gears while stationary might not do the job. Curious to know.
Isnt there an overflow somewhere at the top of the tank that you can take out and let it drain till it trickles to get just the right amount of transmission fluid in. I think i have seen TE do that when he does a flush on his channel but i dont think i have watched him do this particular vehicle. So basically he overfills a bit and cracks another drain at the top and lets it drain till its a slow flow then tightens it back up.
Some vehicles have no dip stick and use that method, other have a dip stick and use this method. I haven’t seen one with a dip stick that has an overflow plug.
Ahh makes sense then thanks great video by the way. My pilot has 68k and was shuddering at 40k flush took care of it. It has just now started up again so I will be doing the flush next week. Crazy that this fluid goes bad so quick too bad they didn't improve the fluid to take care of the problem.
@@bradwine8693 for sure, at least is a problem that’s resolved with a fluid service. It would really suck if the transmission or torque converter needed replacement.
Owner of a 2017 ridgeline 198k miles, I'm more surprised the atf looks decent for no maintenance. I would also do the transfer case + rear different at the same time. Also the atf online filter too Do not to overfill! a non planetary gear set transmission like Hondas before the 10 speed or zf 9speed this parallel shaft acts more like a manual transmission splash enough to carry through the gears. The hot on the dip stick is a range. i aim to be right in the middle because the fluid will fluctuate hotter depending on the load. I would add lubeguard black for aftermarket atf or lubeguard red for dw1
Great video for sure but you're definitely doing the process wrong when it comes to how you run the fluid through. Shifting gears at a stand still isn't doing shii. You need to actually drive the vehicle through the gears for atleast a few miles between each drain and drive in reverse a bit as well. Other than that... this video was absolutely 🔥🔥🔥
@@bennieaust Honda is wrong too. Supposed to drive through the gears. Never trust a stealership. They tell you certain things that aren't 100% true. That's how they stay in business. Reputable independent mechanics have better knowledge.
@@Frank-s3s I think you are missing the point here. This video is showcasing the Honda procedure. If I didn't follow the procedure, I would be doing it wrong. If you choose to do a different procedure that's totally fine and there is nothing wrong with that. It's just that it's not the Honda procedure anymore. I would encourage you to make a service video with your methods and post it here on UA-cam!! That's what it's all about. And by the way, I fixed the issue with this transmission. It has not acted up once since I preformed this exact procedure. Thanks for watching and commenting!
What 140000, and still no timing belt change, that crazy, if the timing belt break while engine on, say by by to that engine, bacause it is an interference engine where postons can come into contact with the valves, it happen to.my CRV, belt break at 230000 miles but i was lucky non intereference engine, I dont know if they did change the belt or that was the original belt since the car sold by the dealer. The only part got damaged is the crank shaft sensor, so i did change all timing parts and the car start no problem.
But you don't want to take chance till the belt broke and find yourself replacing the whole engine for like over 4000 dollar, visual check will not tell you if the belt is good or not, like mine the belt was looking good from both sides, but it did break anyway, and many things can go wrong in the timing assembly, water pump, the tensioner, or other pulley that may make the belt to get loose and destroyed.

Thanks!
All that is called out for is exactly what I do in this video. I couldn’t tell you the exact details of why, but that’s all they call for.
Great vid. Thanks man! This is exactly what’s happening to my 2016 pilot at 154k miles.
You’re welcome!
It continues to drive perfect since I serviced it. Hopefully you will have the same results!

Like it or not, this is the Honda procedure that I followed.
Thanks!

140k miles isn’t even bad. :(
CAM FAILURE! Honda Pilot: + 207K miles on original timing belt!

@@abdouallahuniverse5689, I agree, it should have been done at 105k miles, I’m just saying I’ve seen much worse.
