Thanks for the video, my first attempt at this failed because i couldnt figure out how to get to the atf filter after removing the airbox. Now i know you need to remove those heater hoses and that extra bracket to make more room, its tight!
it's ok brother, sometimes its hard for the first time and the second time or third should be a good one. and i'm glad my content video helped you out with your repair. also i would really appreciate if you subscribe to my channel to grow it and get the latest videos.
you can drain when its cold but it takes longer to drain since its cold. i think if you warm up much faster to drain and you drain more fluids, becuase fluids get expand when its hot.
@@orquizagarage2795 good to know. Im about to do the filter. Unfortunately someone tightened the transmission drain plug super super super tight (new guy with the impact probably) so ima take it to someone before i break the housing since i don't have much equipment.
@@PlumbCarton5607 ooohh noo, if you have the lift or you work at shop used heavy and long pipe that way you have good leverage to break in the drain bolt. 1/2 drive will not fit only 3/8 drive will only fit. The actual 3/8 ratchet are the sized noo need for special tools
@@orquizagarage2795 i don't have those, tried a big ½drive (½->⅜ adapter attached) with a hammer head wrapped around the drive pulling it, felt like i was gonna break it. The "special equipment" was a long bar or impact, which i don't have
I know your comment is 4 months old...But I just did mine a couple days ago and figured I would leave a reply for future readers. I have a 2012 Honda Civic LX (automatic, sedan) with the 1.8L engine. I only needed 3 quarts of Honda ATF DW-1 fluid for a simple ATF fluid change. Technically I think you only need 2.9QT, but the extra 0.1QT isn't going to make a big difference. In this case, I did not change the filter. So I don't know if you would need more fluid if you do.
usually they run around 3quarts to 4 quarts, before you drain make sure you have catch fan with measuring, so you know how much if come out and how much you will put in. also if you can subscribe to the channel to help me grow and other people can see it. thanks

Good job Koy!❤
Thank you for support 👍
Do the filter recommended change ?
it's better for the long lasting for the transmission also filter will catch some of the dirts or metal flakes
Did you warm up the transmission fluid to operating temp or did you drain and refill cold? Based on the repair manual it says to do it hot
you can drain when its cold but it takes longer to drain since its cold. i think if you warm up much faster to drain and you drain more fluids, becuase fluids get expand when its hot.
when i pick up the car its hot because i drive it. but if the car really hot its hard to work on. just warm up so its not that hot to work on
