If you do a drain and fill transmission fluid change, you'll only get out about a third of the fluid each time, so usually people do at least 3 drain and fills to get most of the fluid out. If you're doing it that way, might as well change the filter on your 3rd fluid change since most of the fluid will be new by now.
@@2carpros I bought a used 09 Civic last year at 99,000km it's now at 129,000km. Should I change the transmission fluid or should I wait for the code to appear on the display? Thanks
Wow thank god for the Japanese right? That's some good design. Most cars make you remove the pan just to drain the fluid, as well as replace the filter. Honda really makes maintenance so easy.
Thanks for sharing. It was a struggle to get the clamps off the old filter. Having the right hose clamp pliers or needle nose vicegrips would have helped. Taking both clamps off the upper part and removing the hose higher up helps maneuver it better. A dab of grease helped slide clamps and hoses afterwards.
I don't mean this to sound so snarky, but it was really satisfying to watch y'all struggle with that damn air box. I was like: ah, even the pros struggled with such a simple piece, I now feel better about how long it took me to get it in 😂😂
After removing the two screws that secure the air box there is a really annoying black pin with a rubber gasket.... NOT A GASKET JUST PULL STRAIGHT UP ITS A RUBBER CYLINDER THE BLACK PIN IS SOLID
Great video, I recently purchased a 2009 civic with 21,000 miles from the 93 year old original owner. Other than a new alternator, battery, and belt it’s completely stock, what if anything should I do as far as maintenance is concerned? Other than the air and cabin filter? Please include the part numbers for the Transmisión filter, and drain plug washer as well. Thank you…
If its completely stock, well maintained by previous owner, and only 21k miles, you got a car that will last you a crazy long time if you continue to maintain it properly. I would check the owners manual to see the recommendations for maintenance. It will show you what you need to change/replace and how often to do so. Just follow that and you’re golden🙌🏼 my 09 civic has 200k miles and i’ve never ran into any mechanical issues; every single thing on my car is stock, except alternator and battery.
Do you have a part number on the washer for the drain plug? Im assuming its different that the oil drain plug washer, and I can't find the thing unless Im buying a new drain plug.
i bought a drain plug washer for my oil changed and i thought on the product name it said for both so they might be the same washer. idk tho i’ll try to find the place i found it
great video !!!!...thanks for posting this tutorial...i could not find how to replace the filter for oil change. thanks to your video now i know were is located...keep up the great work 👍🏻😊......
Honestly the airbox is the hardest part becides getting the lower clamp off the filter. I even had a hose clamp tool, but it wouuldnt close tight enough to fully release the clamp. It just bent my tool! took hours on one clamp, & ive been wrenching since the 90's
Yea, access is quite difficult. There is no room to move tools into position. The airbox is a pain to remove and even harder to get back in. I will run at least 100,000 miles on the new filter before I replace it again.
Yea it's a real pain to get this back in correctly. I tried putting this back on because I don't want my cold air intake on anymore. I can't get that front bolt on the air box lined up to save my life. Taking into a mechanic tomorrow for I don't break anything. Good video though.
Great video! Very well done. I'm about to do this very same thing on my daughters 09 civic w/150,000...I'm assuming the fluid and filter have never been changed. It has started to not shift in O/D and I figure this would be a great place to start. Any opions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks jason
Remove both rubber hoses that attach to the in-line transmission filter. I found it was easier to get at the clips on the opposite ends of the filter hoses and easier to reinstall. So when you pull the filter, it still has the hoses attached.
Having the filter accessible like this makes the transmission last longer. I know on 7th gen Accord V6 models you can get to it. How ever the 8th gen you cant. Same goes for the Acura TL’s 07 to 11.
Drain and refill = 2.5 Qts, but total capacity = 6.2 Qts. Does that mean that regular change of ATF and filter only replaced half of the old AFT in the system?
@@DrRestorations You would want to change the transmission oil and let it cycle for about 1000 miles or some people just suggest a good full week of driving and then change it out again. So you'd be doing two transmission changes. That's probably the safest way to do it.
Rust / corrosion / impact wrench happy technicians will do that... A long extension / breaker bar works wonders. If you don't have one of those, you can try slipping a pipe or something else hollow over your wrench and using that for extra leverage. If you are using a floor jack, the handle to the jack works well too. When replacing the drain bolt, you don't need that much force at all. Hand tight + a quarter turn for the crush washer (about 30ish foot lbs of torque) is plenty sufficient.
Pain to get the air box off. I have what looks like a round rivet head thats holding the air box in. Do I have to cut the head off? It's on the left side towards the back of airbox.
I had 180K on the original filter before I changed it. I cut it open and other than discolored filter media, it looked fairly ok. I won't replace it again for at least another 100K miles.
@@JDMSTRT For so called for ever parts I tend to do it every second change out, if it uses filter media, for screens I just back wash, clean and dry then re-install. Edit, after seeing a video of one getting dismantled, I'd change it with every fluid change!
quick question, had the fluid change few months ago, but not sure if the car shop did the filter change also. Is it ok to change the filter with the fluid inside? great video nonetheless
Any suggestions on installing an automatic transmission cooler? What line to install the cooler on. I would assume running it after the filter, but unsure which way the fluid is flowing. If you guys have any suggestions that would be great!
While going on slope, my civic 2007 not changing the gear fastly Do you think its because of gear oil? Or filter? I changed last year and so far i drive 70,000 km Can somebody please advise
Why wouldnt you flush all the 6 liters out? Ive seen guys run the car by disconnecting the high side pressure line into a bucket and pour new fluid in until it runs clean
I imagine it would be very similar if not the same. Thanks for watching! Do you mean it turns right while you're driving or when when your coming to a stop?
Yes, 2/3 is still in transmission and torque converter. So to flush, Drive car through all gears including reverse, then drain oil, do this three to four times so mostly new oil is in... Easy to drain, no lift required..
Lol brings back memories I put the filter in backwards thankfully it wouldn't attach on the bracket (idiot proof). I saw there is a filter strainer inside the transmission does this ever get changed? 25420-RPC-003
Well; if you replace the oil in the transmission/ diff, you still have , maybe, half of the oil left in the torque converter and oil cooler, how do I replace that ; or is it enough to just replace what is in the transmission ?......... very good video!!!!, thank you
Filter looks brand new! You will need to stick that in an oil drum and then ask the customer if they want a new one like they have done me! Can't trust these chain oil change places...they are in business to make as much off you as possible. They will break things that work to make more money!
Great Video. I just wonder if we have to change the transmission fluid filter inside the transmission pan ? Taking it out from underneath of the car seems like a pain. Thanks
The only question i have is why drain 2-3 quarts of old fluid out and replace it with new when the system is a 6 quart capacity? There is still 3-4 quarts of old fluid in the system. You would never do an oil change in an engine.
If the partial 3 qt. change is done frequently enough, it is adequate If you run the mileage to 60K or 70K between any changes, then the dilution approach would be appropriate. That's adding the 3 qt., driving awhile then changing it again. A third change in succession pretty well dilutes most of the old fluid out.
transmissions get use to old fluid. Its actually better to only change out 3 quarts rather than to flush entire transmission of (6 quarts). This way it stays clean & wont throw off friction consistency too much.
80s cars were easier to maintenance them compare to now, So difficult. Reason, in my opinion, if you’re able to do everything on a car then there’s no point on having shops. It’s all business.
It's a great idea with the inline filter but I think dropping the pan would have been easier than trying to remove the air filter box and filter. It took me a few hours, a fight all the way. I had to go in from the underneath with a lift also to get the back hose clamp off the filter. I think I will pay to get this done again for my other Civics, '09 & '10. The video seems bit deceiving to me, nothing was easy and fast to do.
Is the process some what simular for the manual transmission? Like is there also a filter in the same location. I've tried searching videos on the this subject, but they all do it on 2006+ Civic Si's
I have a 2008 Accord with 75K miles. I'm the first owner. Never did a transmission flush on it. I heard Honda transmission are picky. I seen many videos. Each one is a little different. I heard to do a flush. I'll have to go through 9qts. Some said no just take 3/4 out and add to it. So can you please tell me the proper way to do it? Anyone?
The 9 quart approach is essentially renewing the entire volume of the fluid. The 3 quart replacement would be good too; I'd just run less miles on the transmission before doing the next 3 quart change. I do the 3 quart change every 10K miles - the fluid coming out always looks relatively uncontaminated (minimal dark coloration).
This is the worst filter location I've ever experienced. A filter inside a transmission pan would be much easier to replace than this ridiculously positioned filter. You can only fit one hand behind the engine to install the filter, hoses and clamps. I'll never buy another Civic with this type of filter configuration. I feel like cutting a hole in the cowl so I can reach the stupid thing.
I was able to get the air box out, but seating it back in took a frikkin deadblow, and I chipped the box’s lip in two places, and I was never able to get the big hose in the back back on properly, so car is still sitting in garage. Couldn’t get the hose clamps on the lines to the filter to compress either, so didn’t even change the filter. Total disaster and total failure. Gonna have to take somewhere to get it done.
@@2carpros I did it!!! Much needed perseverance, but nailed it!!! Fresh new transmission liquid and filter. Thanks for the video!!! Definitely helped!!!
@@2carpros The point is that if you drain a gearbox, transmission, rear differential, radiator, Before confirming that you can fill it you can create a huge headache for yourself. Also by accessing the fill port 1st the fluid will drain faster.
