![]() I do the simple jobs myself and my local Honda garage has been doing the difficult jobs for over 30 years. No problems with any of them because I service them regularly as prescribed by the owner's manual. I have several Honda vehicles with manual and automatic transmissions, FWD and AWD's, and they all have well over 100K miles on them. Even though it is supposed to last 60K miles, I change it at 30K mile intervals as well. Similarly, I used to use Honda brand CVT fluid but I now use Amsoil CVT fluid in it which gives superior shifting.īack to "Honda Only" fluids, this still applies to the AWD rear diff: Nobody makes an aftermarket version of Honda Dual Pump II Fluid. I also have a Honda HR-V which requires Honda CVT fluid in the CVT automatic transmission. Even though Amsoil ATF is supposed to last far longer than other brands, I still change it at 30K mile intervals. After trying several brands, I've settled on Amsoil because it performs best. I used to use Honda ATF fluid which I changed every 30K miles. As time has passed, there are now many aftermarket ATF manufacturers who meet Honda spec's.

Well played.but your mechanic friend is making stuff up It says to change manual transmission fluid at 120,000 miles or six years- whichever comes first. Here is the owner's manual from a 2005- the last year Honda printed a service schedule based on mileage before the maintenance minder: 4 cylinder with manual transmission. The maintenance minder system (standard on all Accords since 2006) says to replace the manual transmission fluid in this car when code "3" pops up. No where does it say to check automatic nor manual transmission fluid at 10,000 mile intervals, nor to change either at 150,000. The OP claims to have a 5 speed AUTOMATIC transmission in his car.but manual transmission fluid can go longer than automatic transmission fluid. I think OP is having some fun with his "click-bait" thread title and exclamation of "I think it is great.", or his mechanic "friend" is having fun with him. Like I said, I think this is great not having to replace the transmission fluid until 150,000 miles. Otherwise replace the automatic transmission at 150,000 miles, or if the symbol 3 in the Maintenance Minder pops up, you need to replace the transmission fluid immediately. ![]() When you check your transmission fluid, if it looks milky or burnt, smells burnt, feels grittiness you need to replace your transmission fluid immediately.
