Thank you Christian! TH-cam is a huge part of my learning process with my car : I've trusted too many faulty mechanics, as is the reality for most women out there who don't have a close friend or family member in the biz, so thanks again for helping guide me to care for my honda! 🙏
You forget the most important thing when you check the fluid level you need to turn the engine on in order to have the right Reading for the fluid level thank you
On a Honda transmission, you actually check the fluid level with the transmission warmed up and the engine off. But you are right about almost every other vehicle on the road :)
The right fluid is critical in these things. Check your manual to get the specific fluid type. I almost destroyed my 2012 Civic by using Castrol "multi use" ATF fluid. Mine requires H type fluid and WalMart didn't have it in stock so I went with the Castrol. Big mistake. Luckily I noticed a mild shudder between 1st and 2nd starting about a week after I changed the fluid. Drained it and put the H type in. Smooth as silk now
Have you ever done the filter ( 25430-PLR-003 ) and a complete fluid exchange? If I recall correctly only 3 quarts come out when doing it this way and the trans capacity is 6.2 quarts....
Many say to just change the fluid a few times between so many hundreds of miles and your fluid should be very clean. The filter looks like it’s not fun to change, but not impossible
Mine wasn’t level when draining. Looks like 2.5 quarts drain out. That’s what I put back in and looks correct on dip stick. How often are you changing your fluid?
@@BLAZEPSI sorry your wrong but there is a filter for the trans fluid. Its a small black canister filter bolted on top of the trans to the back and below the air filter box. Honda P/N is 25430-PLR-003. I have a 2011 Civic EX and changed it twice already. I have over 260k original miles
Thanks for the video, I recently changed my ATF using your instructions but using valvoline maxlife ATF. I know people always say only use honda fluids but I've heard good things of valvoline. I guess time will tell to see if it will destroy my transmission lol.
Cant I just go for a drive then do this that way the car is already in operating temperature? I hate doing this where I wait for the car to be in operating temperature.
+Alex M I would not only because the service manual does not say to drive it until it is at operating temperature. For this video, I held the gas at 3000 rpm until the fans turned on. Even then it still took about 4 minutes.
Christian Macias I have a thing when it comes to RPMs,it's rare for me to let me car to to 3000 RMPs,when I drive normally accelerate at 2000 RMPs or a little higher depending on traffic,but always below 3000 rpm,when there's no cars I accelerate as slow as possible,heck even at 1500 RPMs.
@@lazertag720 You are driving your car wrong, keeping your revs down can make it very hard on the transmission, don't be worried about your engine revving up a bit, they are meant too and the transmission automatically changes gear to lessen the strain on your engine.
Bro my civic's check engine turned on while driving & it went into limp mode (atleast i hope it's limp mode). All fluids look good except for the transmission (it looks black). Should I do a transmission fluid flush at that point? Or is a simple transmission fluid change gonna be enough to get the car running good again? It's my first car don't come @ me for not keeping up on my maintenance pls. I've had it for a year tho... so mb
Hello Need ur Advice please, I put for Civic 2010 1.8 a wrong transmissin oil accendently , I put CVT oil (called Top 1 Formula 1) instead of honda ATF Z1 nd drove for 5 thounand Killometer (5000) What should I do brother ? nd does this mean the transsmission will die in future even i changed the oil ? I appriciate if u can help or Advice . thank you .
Generally speaking, yes. I changed mine for the first time at around 68k miles. I bought the car used and wasn't sure if the fluid and filter were ever changed. It was clean but you could tell it was a bit dirty. I figured the filter could be dirty too, so I went ahead and bought a filter at my local Honda dealership. However, just order one off Amazon. It's much cheaper! Part number 25430-PLR-003. In my opinion, it's worth changing the filter every once in a while.
You buy a used car, it's a good idea to change ALL fluids. That would be radiator, engine oil, transmission oil, power steering fluid. It's called cheap insurance. You have to ask yourself, How motivated was the seller to do maintenance knowing they're going to get rid of the vehicle?
Use only Honda DW1. Some say certain brands can be used, but Hondas are very picky vehicles. I’m going to do my 2010 Civic and no way I’d use anything else.
Do these models use crush washers? And do I need a torque wrench or can I just do it a little bit past snug? Thanks for the video by the way! It's great 👌
@@Grizzleback07 Thanks I ended up buying a harbor freight one for $20, apparently they have a lifetime warranty now so if it fails I'll just get a new one. I'll use it for other things I suppose. Thanks
@@4drturbo85 Agree. After that a 3 quart change every 30.000 is plenty to keep the fluid fresh and in great shape. Remember Honda oem fluid is now synthetic. DW1.
Sir I already Fill up my Transmission fluid to my Honda civic 2009 and reached the exact level,but after 5 days I checked again but no fluid touched in the stick. But there is No Leaking in my transmission. Is that Normal? Thank you sir.
@@juliosanchez933 Look at the colour of the transmission oil , when it's new it's a red colour. In time the colour will change to a brownish colour and then later to a blackish colour. Best to change before it gets to a blackish colour. I change my Transmission oil every 60,ooo km or45,ooo miles. Car engine oil I change every 10,00 KM or 6000 miles. It's the cheapest maintenance you can have
You only changed Half of it . The other half is in the torque converter. so you drained 1/2 and added new oil and now you have a transmission with half old oil and half new. Not a total trans flush.
Thank God for mechanic channels. You're doing God's work out here my guy

Check the fluid level within 60-90 seconds after turning the engine off
Perfect video! My 2011 took exactly 3 quarts, measured to the top fill line hot while running
After change transmission fluid everything was ok? Any failure?
You forget the most important thing when you check the fluid level you need to turn the engine on in order to have the right Reading for the fluid level thank you
nesrin sarofeim .... on these honda’s you actually need to drive the car till it gets to operating temp, then check the fluid with the car off.
nesrin sarofeim you're welcome

What about the filter?
Mine wasn’t level when draining. Looks like 2.5 quarts drain out. That’s what I put back in and looks correct on dip stick. How often are you changing your fluid?
Measure how much transmission fluid you took out and put that same exact amount in, then adjust from there.
I bought a cheap 5 quart measuring container for $4 to do mine.
Dors it not require to switch out the filter? Or does it even have a filter?
E2 M5 these models has external inline filter too.
thanks men... very good... simple and direct to the point
how about the atf filter? did you change it along w/ the atf?
It cannot be changed... It is inside the transmission. You can put an inline filter that you can change if you want to...

Ive been using Valvoline and Castrol Import for years.... No bad effect... Shifts smoothly
As long as it’s compatible , it’s fine
Pls is it true that the transmission oil should cool down totally before it is drained?
Im having the hardest time with the plug, what should I do it won’t even move.

Hello
Need ur Advice please, I put for Civic 2010 1.8 a wrong transmissin oil accendently , I put CVT oil (called Top 1 Formula 1) instead of honda ATF Z1 nd drove for 5 thounand Killometer (5000)
What should I do brother ? nd does this mean the transsmission will die in future even i changed the oil ?
I appriciate if u can help or Advice . thank you .
I would have just changed it over and over every 75-100 miles.
Civic 06 lleva tmn 2.7 litros mismos aceite dw1 ? Se que el Z1 es el aceite anterior y el Dw1 digamos es el actual
nice video.... is there a transmission filter to change at certain time ? thanx

Yes there is one on the transmission oil line and I believe there's one in the transmission oil pan.

Don't objectify this man.
*_ARE YOU GUYS STILL TOGETHER?_*
Did he refer to the exhaust manifold as the catalytic converter?
William F That is the catalytic converter. The exhaust manifold and catalytic converter is one unit in these cars.
I bought a 2009 Honda Civic with 115k miles on it is it a good idea to change it I don’t know last time it’s been changed
Same exact situation I'm in. I'm changing mine this weekend then doing it again sometime the following week

Yes, just a drain and changeNOT a flush.
Change your transmission filter with each fluid change, too.
What is the amount of gear oil for 2008 sir
Can i use z1 instead of wd1 ??
Use only Honda DW1. Some say certain brands can be used, but Hondas are very picky vehicles. I’m going to do my 2010 Civic and no way I’d use anything else.
bad ass video bro
Should have changed the filter and run through the gears and check again l should know l work for Honda.
Change filter every 30k?
Do these models use crush washers? And do I need a torque wrench or can I just do it a little bit past snug?
Thanks for the video by the way! It's great 👌
Just go to snug. No point buying tools you won't use again.
@@Grizzleback07 Thanks I ended up buying a harbor freight one for $20, apparently they have a lifetime warranty now so if it fails I'll just get a new one. I'll use it for other things I suppose. Thanks
Thanks for the information homie.
What type of Automatic transmision is? CVT ?
Hybrid have the CVT. That's what I read on Wikipedia about 8th Gen Civics
It means Continuous Variable Transmission....CVT, Its driven by a metal belt.
How often do you change ATF?
50k
What happens if you over fill?
Problems
How many bottle 4 or 3...??
3
2.5 - 2.7 Quarts
Whats the difference between a flush and a change. Isn’t there a torque converter that has fluid in it too?
Good idea to drain it. Drive it for a while, 500 miles or wahtever. Change it again. Do that 2 or 3 times total.

If you didn't shift through all the gears before measuring the first time, your transmissions was not full.
Good simple video
3:07 he said that's what she said
ha. Didn't think anyone would notice.
@@cmacia06 how many boats
Capacity is 6.08 quarts on a Honda 2010 Civic
That's in the entire system. A drain and fill like this is only about 3 quarts.
Is this for oil change or transmission fluid change?
Transmission fluid

Must check engine running at park
You didn't clean off your magnetic plug.
I didn’t know they had one!
Too much fluid can make it run bad as well. It needs to be within range. DO NOT overfill.
*_JOE ROGAN BROUGHT ME HERE._*
You only need 2 and half quarters
For ur information we only check transmission oil level while start you will not get oil lavel wh off it if car is off but for engine its different
Dude do you have an Instagram?
No I don't.
Christian Macias i need to ask you somethin do you have any sort of social media
abduallah alkhateeb I do :D
Automatic or manual? Would be nice to know before wasting my time......
Ah, good point. Ill add it to the discription
rellik187redrum if he is using ATF I’m assuming it’s automatic
You only changed Half of it . The other half is in the torque converter. so you drained 1/2 and added new oil and now you have a transmission with half old oil and half new. Not a total trans flush.
Will this work on my dirt bike too?jk
